Question: Does it make a difference what operating system I have on my computer?

Answer by BestHost Ratings

No. The operating system that you have on your personal computer should not be of any concerns. The most popular way for uploading files to your site is FTP and all operating systems support it. Even Microsoft technologies like MS FrontPage Extensions and ASP can also be done on Unix (or Linux) servers.
