Choosing the right email hosting – Linux or Microsoft?

Customers of WebGo come from a range of different backgrounds, and industries, spread all across Australia, and the world, and while they all have individual needs and requirements, there is one common thing which they all have in common – they ask when signing up and ordering new services whether they should choose Linux or Microsoft-based products when it comes to email hosting. 

WebGo emphasises that while each operating system, and email server software will do the job, there are a few things to consider when choosing email hosting, and in particular which platform to go with, either Microsoft Exchange, or the Linux-based open source email hosting.

The short answer is that Microsoft Exchange is built more for enterprise users, and allows enterprise users to do more with Microsoft-linked products, such as integrating accounts, and server settings more easily, and integrates more easily with Microsoft Office 365 (cloud). 

Customers who operate without as many enterprise considerations will find that open source Linux-based server software, with email support from open source email servers will provide what a customer is looking for when it comes to a more straightforward email set-up.
