I am looking for an alternative to Windows on some old laptops that I have. I just don’t know what will run on a Pentium 2. If you know of any operating systems that aren’t Linux that will work also, put them down, too.

I want to be able to switch between using Linux and Windows without overloading or complicating one hard drive. Are there any pitfalls with running different operating systems in seperate hard drives?

A shared host plan is offered by different hosting companies, one of which is The Magic Host. Other than this plan, this web hosting company also provides other types of hosting services. These are dedicated hosting and VPS hosting. Among the three, the most common is shared hosting since you will be able to avail of affordable packages when you go for this. This specific web hosting service allows a huge number of websites within a single server connected to the Internet. Each website within that server has its own IP address, bandwidth, and disk space which separate it from the other websites. Shared hosting is very cost-efficient since all of the individuals sharing that same server also share the whole cost for the maintenance.

The Web Hosting Plans of The Magic Host

There are various types of web host plans and services offered by The Magic Host. The hosting plans of this company include the following:

• Solaris

• Oracle

• Windows

• FreeBSD

• Linux

Among these operating systems, the most well-known is Linux. When you go for the Linux hosting plans of The Magic Host, you have four options to choose from. The first plan is the Dwarf which has 50GB for its disk space and 200GB for its bandwidth. If you require more disk space and bandwidth, all you have to do is upgrade your Linux Host Dwarf to Linux Host Hobbit. With the latter, your disk space and bandwidth are upgraded to 200GB and 2000GB respectively. On the other hand, you can also upgrade the Hobbit to another budget host when you want to have more bandwidth and space. This is possible through the Linux Host Elven, which has a disk space of 300GB and a bandwidth of 3000GB. The Elven can be upgraded to the Wizard which has 400 GB disk space and 4000GB bandwidth.

The Advantages of Linux

The Linux is an affordable hosting plan which provides you with various add-on privileges.

• For one, you can include a WHM for cPanel when you pay an extra $2 each month.

• You can add on a WHMCS license for a ticket and billing system when you settle an extra $12 for every month.

• You can sell domain when you have a Directi Reseller account. The worth of this domain is $6.49 for each year.

• If you want an additional private nameserver, the extra charge is $2 each month.

• Availing of a live chat requires you to pay off each agent with $7 each month.

• On the other hand, the SSL requires $14 for every month.

When you go for a certain type of Linux host plan at The Magic Host and you want to add on reseller features, you are not required to buy each of the features. You can take a pick among the privileges, as long as you need it. You can add these features to the general shared hosting package deal that you have availed of. With all the features that you have included with your plan, you are availing of the low costs of a great reseller package.

The general package of Linux Host Elven offers you with several features. These include the wide exclusive disk space and monthly bandwidth of the hosting plan. The space of the Elven is 300GB while its bandwidth is 3,000GB. If you want to get more space and bandwidth, you can just upgrade the Elven to Linux Host Wizard. The latter has 400GB disk space and 4000GB bandwidth. Like the other two plans, the Elven also provides triple backup with your hosting company offering you free data storage. There are unlimited multiple websites and databases, along with unlimited FTP accounts and sub domains. As a registrant, your domain name is free all throughout your hosting plan term. Compared to the thousands of accounts within the servers of other hosting plans, the Linux only has a maximum number of 150 accounts. Because of this privilege, your server is able to perform better. What is more, it is less complicated than the other virtual host plans. If you want an effective and cost-efficient hosting plan, choose the Linux hosting plan of The Magic Host.

Linux has been something like monotony nowadays. Its fame makes it being the talk of the town – various Linux downloads, Linux programs, etc… And what’s great about this is – it’s all for free! However, free programs or software would always come to an end due to the rising number of users as well as the demands them constantly plea. There will really come a time that some of them will be priced just right for its effectiveness and usage. But that won’t tremble any of the existing and satisfied users of Linux because they already know how great it is to use such system.

Most of today’s Linux subscribers were actually using other operating systems and decided to transfer to Linux because of some annoying experiences. You can almost hear their murmurs whenever they talk about their previous systems. A complaint from a lady in her workplace have been heard telling that she got all fed up and totally annoyed with her current operating system and thinks of migrating to Linux. No worries at all because I think it’s just so easy to do it. Another thing is, switching to Linux can be very fast for her since she’s not using the software herself.

Beforehand, switching to Linux will require you to take a closer look around your software as well as to make some research about this new operating system. You should be aware of the software that are compatible with this new OS. Will your software run faster, or will be more user-friendly and effective once you transfer to this new system? Consider the advantages and disadvantages before you finally decide.

A large number of Linux software usually comes for free. And yes, they are indeed FREE! But are that free software doesn’t bother you at all? A colleague once mentioned that the more ‘free’ a software becomes, the more it is prone to get affected by some malicious programs. So before planning to use Linux, better watch out for these unwanted possibilities.

Another thing to consider is the commands that Linux has. Since it is new, there’s a possibility that some of its commands are different from your old OS. You have to get familiar with it first and then see to it that it has some sort of a familiar environment with your previous operating system. In that way, you won’t be caught something like grasping for breath because you have experienced a shock after suddenly switching to something you aren’t familiar with yet. So, it would be better to check everything out in order to get all things done – safely.

Anyhow, if you think you are ready enough to switch and try something new, then better opt for something that have positive feedbacks. Try to look at the bright side of your choice. Don’t worry too much about some adverse comments, for as long as you know that you, yourself can handle any problems that may occur (we could never really get rid of any unexpected failures). Consider the point that Linux has been very congenial to its users and is very friendly to the budget too. You won’t have to fret since some of its software are still offered for free (to download and to use as well).

I guess, the best thing to do primordially is to seek for valuable inputs about the Linux OS. Search and read a lot of reviews. Visit those sites that have favorable recommendations as well as some critics about this new operating system. Check out for software compatibilities and make sure that you’ve done checking the list of important software that you have – of which ones are and are not compatible with Linux. Better be ready before deciding to make a shift.

To finish this off, it will make sense to weigh all the odds and to consider the possibilities first before deciding to switch for Linux. A dissatisfied OS user (of another system) may opt for Linux to try its proficiency and effectiveness. He may go through a lot of new commands to learn and get familiar with, yet the important thing is, he is happy and comfortable with his choice. Well, the bottom lines for this is – if you are already fed up with what you currently have and is already annoyed of its performance, then why stick to that when you have greater options to choose from? So to speak, Linux may have been waiting for you all along.
