Costs for a Unix license vary by vendor and number of users on the system. Most new system hardware comes bundled with at least a 2 user license. It can get very expensive depending on the vendor and the bundled products.
I've seen Unix versions on mainframes that are upwards of 20,000 dollars a year, and some server based versions that are under $1000.

What are the advantages of unix based hosting?
One of the major advantages of unix based hosting is that unix is free, so the cost is not an issue. Another cost benefit is that several free applications are available for Unix based servers so the money that would have been allotted to this could be utilized elsewhere. Unix is also very efficient because less system resources are required which means less bandwidth and RAM are used. This results in a smoother and faster site. Many languages were developed using Unix as well. This means that there are more applications will be able to run on your site than if you had chosen another platform.

What types of cost are involved in changing from Microsoft operating systems to UNIX?
This depends on whether you change to a commercial variety of Unix, which has its own license costs. Additional costs may be incurred if you need to buy applications that run on UNIX for which you are currently running them on Windows (you have to re-buy the license since it is a different platform). Other than that, it is not possible to say for certainty what the cost would be without examining your requirements.
