But use Linux or Windows hosting, dunno. What would you advise me to do? The hosting company is HostCats.com.

If you need a recommendation, I can vote for www.webhostingbuzz.com shared hosting service, plerase post more details about the site you are going to host, it will help to give you more valid advice as fro the which plan to choose.

Their servers seem to be located in India, does this dc location meet your requirements? While Sibername.com offers Windows hosting on Canadian-based servers. At the end of the day, I think you should post your site's requirements to get more valuable ideas af for choosing the best hosting package for your site.

But If I were you I'd signup for their windows web hosting and try to find linux with other web hosting. Other side of this: If you will get some discounts with Hostcats.com while signing up for their both windows and linux. In this case shurely bettr go with one company to save some money.

Linux or Windows - it depends on your budget and experience. Both are nice from HostCats.com in terms of prices but if you need ASP.NET only Windows will be good for you.
