Ok, I see a lot of webhosting places offer hosting for Windows NT or Unix. since OSX has Unix in it, can I sign up for the Unix web hosting?
 
When it comes to hosting, it doesn't matter what you are using as a local machine. The hosting system and your local development system can be completely independent. (Assuming you are not using proprietary Micro$oft techologies such as ASP, FrontPage, and so on).

That said, I would never even consider a web hosting service that used Windows. Not out any Micro$oft bashing, but simply because IIS (the NT web server) is so chock full of security holes, it could be used as a sieve.

hth,
