Linux is an OS, that is not that frequently used for desktop machines, but is amongst the most widely used OSs for web servers. It's 100 % free, so you won't have to pay any license fees as part of your website hosting payments. Linux is additionally thought to be the most risk-free OS available and because of the permissions which files have along with the file types that can be run, virus files which can infect a regular computer will simply not be executed on a Linux-based web server. In addition, the OS is freeware, so it could be modified without any constraints, so that it will meet the needs of the hosting provider and their clients. This suggests that unneeded software packages could be removed to make the Operating system lighter and much faster, which can directly result in far better server performance. A lot of Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, because this software is also free, fast and secure. It's the most frequently used web server available and is part of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script apps, including Joomla™ and WordPress, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

If you get a shared hosting package from us, your new account will be set up on our top-notch cloud platform where each of the machines run Linux. Of course, the OS has been personalized to satisfy our needs, in order to get the most of our clustered platform. The files, e-mails, statistics, databases, and so forth., are managed by separate groups of web servers and this contributes to the more effective performance of the platform, due to the fact that one machine deals with only one type of process running on it, contrary to what many other companies do. All web requests are handled by Apache, since we've seen first-hand that that'smost likely the lightest and most convenient web server around. With a shared account on our cloud platform, you'll be able to enjoy a quick, reliable and secure service and to use just about any web programming language – HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth.
