Who worked and who know how to choose the right one?

PS Does it matter if the hosting is located in your own country or in other countries, such as Germany or France?

Answer 1

Short answer: 99 out of 100 cases, Linux.
Windows is usually needed if appropriate solutions are used (eg .net).
Not really. If hosting, for example, in Asia, there may be a long ping (~ delay). But usually there isn't much of a difference.
Well, pay attention to legal restrictions. See data retention law.

There are already several comments that, they say, it doesn’t matter. I agree: if no one visits the sites and there is nowhere to put the money spent on Microsoft services, then yes, it doesn’t matter!
