Linux is a well-known OS, that is traditionally used for web servers, as it has a number of advantages over other OSs. It's considered to be the most solid OS available and due to the way it operates, corrupted files will simply not work. Since Linux is absolutely free to use, no license fees shall be added to the price you will have to pay for your hosting service. That, consequently, makes it possible for the provider to customize the OS based on what they and their clients need, getting rid of unwanted packages to boost the Operating system and the server’s performance. Linux servers usually come with the Apache web server software, which processes site access requests. Apache is also free and customizable, not to mention that it is very fast and light in terms of the resources it requires. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is the software environment that a number of the most popular script applications require – Moodle, WordPress, Joomla, and so on. The LAMP configuration is the most widely used one worldwide, because it is stable as well as simple to maintain.

All the web servers that are an element of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform run Linux to be able to ensure their fast and reliable operations, that will subsequently lead to far better overall website functionality. That is valid for any site that you host in a hosting account with our company. Each part of the hosting service (e-mails, databases, files) will be taken care of by its own group of machines, so just one type of processes will run on a given machine, that will contribute to the rapid loading speed of your Internet sites even more. You could use HTML, Perl, Python, JavaScript and any other web development language for your sites, due to the fact that they all can run on a Linux server. We use the Apache web server, considering that our experience over time has proven that it is probably the ideal piece of software of its kind.
