Are you planning on scripting with PHP or ASP.NET? ... Are you going to be incorperating Perl or Java? ... On their hosting plans page, GoDaddy shows you what Windows and Linux supports.. check it out.

I did, and I'm not sure what I want

SFR I'm very new to HTML and know nothing about java, could you give me a push in a good direction of what I should choose, maybe what is the most common, or what would you use, or may what you think I would be best off getting.

Tanks

windows is better if your just starting out on HTML, plus, me being a web designer myself, i recommend getting to know java because you'll want it sometime
