What’s Your OS Platform?

The three most popular operating system used by computers are Mac OS, Windows and Linux. People prefer the operating system installed on their computer depending on their need, its ease of use, the security they need, and its compatibility with the software that they need to use.

Mac OS is used by people who mostly work on video rendering and editing, photo editing or graphic design. Windows is still preferred by most businesses due to its user-friendly interface and compatibility with most software. Linux is mostly used by hardcore IT professionals, and is also used by those who run their own servers or develop their own websites.

Whatever the operating system is installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you have to make sure that everything you use with it (it may be a software or hardware) is compatible with your computer.

iPage and Mac OS: Any Compatibility Issues?

One question that we always ask when we got a new software is this: Is it compatible with my computer? We have to make sure before installing any software on our computer will work, or you will only end up wasting your money since we wouldn’t be able to use it anyway.

Same goes when looking for a webhosting provider.

They should be able to support the user whatever operating system they have on their computer, and make it easy for other people to view the websites they host.
