Linux vs Free BSD
Linux is not a complete OS but a kernel while FreeBSD is distributed as a complete, ready-to-function package just like common desktop operating systems like Microsoft Windows.
Unlike Linux, with its many distributions, BSD has only 3 open source flavors that (vary according to focus) are all stable, secure and usable: OpenBSD (security), NetBSD (portability), and FreeBSD (usability and stability), which is ideal for x86 architecture
Both systems are quite stable and good for hosting... The prices for hosting platforms mostly do not differ, so I suppose there is no principle difference of what to choose.
Much depends on the company you are using OS from as support can be different. Some companies provide them a lot and administrate them in different ways. I prefer Linux.
