Do I need to own a Linux machine to use GoDaddy’s Linux hosting package?
I would like to purchase a hosting package from godaddy.com so I can host a wordpress blog from there, but the only options are Windows and Linux. I run a mac and don’t want to make an unnecessary purchase.
I’m a designer and not a developer, so if you can dumb it down to a 4th grade level, that would be great. thanks.



goDaddy hosting sucks. Click here to get yourself some good hosting like JustHost. Pick something with cPanel control panel so it’s easy to administer your account. vDeck control panel sucks.
You don’t need Windows hosting unless you’re going to be running some Microsoft stuff on the web server.
What you want is Linux hosting. The web server, runs Linux, not your personal computer. It’s got nothing to do with your Mac.
