Mac Web Hosting
Posted under: With so many Linux hosting services, it can be hard to find a high quality, Mac web hosting solution.
Why choose a Mac web hosting provider?
One of the reasons that most people choose a mac web hosting server over Linux and windows is due to the lack of malware (viruses, trojans, and worms). While these types of malware exist, there are less security bugs to exploit it. This makes mac a great hosting solution regarding reliability and consistently.
In the grand scheme of things, most web servers are Linux. After Linux, windows is the next most popular, and that is followed by UNIX and then mac. Since there are comparatively few mac servers, macs are much less likely to be hacked.
While finding a quality, yet affordable, mac web hosting service can seem like a daunting task, there are some excellent choices that are readily available.
MacHighway
In the middle of 2009, MacHighway was making headlines because they were designed by mac users, for mac users.
Even more impressively, the entire company is 100% wind-powered. They have found a way to build an elaborate support structure while remaining “carbon-neutral”.
Their support team has also stood out as one of the best in business. Everyone on the support staff is a mac fanatic, and has no problem solving one problem at a time over the phone instead of support tickets.
While Mac Highway was grabbing headlines, a number of other excellent mac web hosting services were continuing to build upon their already solid reputation.
