What are Advantages and Disadvantages of Both?

Ans. If you are looking forward to host MS SQL Server with .ASP or ASP.NET files then you should consider Windows VPS and if you are looking to have MySQL along with PHP, then Linux VPS is better choice for it.

Which is more secured and of course the important one 'the price factor'?

Ans. You need to find out the security measure with your Hosting Provider and know the kind of security measures they follow to protect their servers.
Obviously Linux VPS is cheaper than Windows VPS as Linux OS is available for free and Windows OS requires licensing fee.
