    Linux is itself an OS.

    But you can use open source hosting on either Linux or Windows.

    I stage my site on LAMP for Windows and host it on LAMP for Linux at a professional hosting service.

    You def can but I’m not sure if you can test a linux based website on a Windows based computer, locally… This may make it a bit hard to design ???

    Assuming that you don’t have something peculiar in your set up, the answer is yes. I have a windows operating system and my hosting co. uses the Linux based system. In fact, I think most of them do.

    It’s not your type of a site, but you can check out one of the sites that I’ve built and get an idea.
