Is Unix and Linux web hosting the same?

My friend told me to purchase a Unix plan from godaddy.com, they offer windows and Linux is the Linux plan the one he is suggesting?

Chosen Answer:

Yes, Linux is often referred to as UNIX since the interface is so similar, even though the UNIX name is copyrighted and can apply only to certain systems.

    Go Daddy uses Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 Linux for it’s Unix Hosting.

    I am a Go Daddy Customer.

    They use a jailed root for clients to use.I use this hosting product as well. Your friend is right.. reliability and availability and customer support make it worth it.

    Don’t go with godaddy because of http://www.nodaddy.com

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    Ok just to keep in mind usually the servers that ar using Unix/Linux platform will be cheaper because the linux platform is free. If you will buy a Windows base hosting company it will be a little bit more expensive, it is better to use windows if you will have your website build in front page it will work better.
    You can go over here: http://professionallowcostwebhosting.com/ you will find good web hosting company’s. The cheapest one is 3.50 $/ mo
