Are Microsoft subsidising Windows Web use over Linux?

5 pointsby paulofischover 13 years ago
123-reg have renewed their VPS offering. The curious thing is that Windows servers are cheaper than CentOS/Ubuntu and they're promoting the fact.<p>What's going on here? Are Microsoft subsidising this? Have 123-reg decided it's cheaper to support Windows Web.<p>Does not compute. https://www.123-reg.co.uk/vps-hosting/

Maybe they're tired of wasting money licensing Windows for undersold servers, so they've adjusted prices to move demand to meet the excess supply?<p>Have you <i>asked</i> them if Microsoft is subsidizing this?

does that deal include antivirus, malware, rootkit and crapware protection? the risk is just too high to even consider it seriously, even if I got payed by M$ more moeny directly, my response is always the same, NO!
