Have a look at this thread on the same topic.

BTW, why do you want Windows? Why not Linux? Any specific reason? For php and MySQL, Linux is pretty good. People go for Windows hosting if they need ASP/ASP.NET. All hosting accounts will have a GUI control panel. You only need a browser to administer your hosting account and even if its Linux, you don't need to learn a single thing about it! :)

I think but not sure that an additional .htaccess file is required for linux.

.htaccess file is optional, and for newbie webmasters there is no need to know about it.

You will not even need to bother about this .htaccess file. I will suggest you look for some Linux hosting with cPanel ;)

BTW, .htaccess file is an apache file and not a linux file. :) Have a look at *httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html

well but surveys ...magazines says...www.tripod.co.uk is some how good in this...they offer phpmyadmin as well..
other are just time waste...some how
any way when you can find 5 mb for as little as 500 why do you bother to use free things
no thing in world is free
any way no offence

I'd second zeeblo, if you are looking for a free host. I don't know advantages of paid hosting, but you will surely get better support for one.
