Linux is an OS, which is not that popular for desktop machines, but is one of the most widely used OSs for web servers. It is 100 % free, so you won't need to pay any license costs as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is additionally considered to be the most secure OS out there and because of the permissions which files have along with the file types that can be run, virus files that can infect a regular personal computer will simply not be executed on a Linux-based server. Also, the OS is freeware, so it can be modified without any constraints, in order to match the requirements of the hosting company and their clients. This also means that unwanted software packages could be removed to make the OS lighter and a lot quicker, which can directly lead to far better hosting server performance. A lot of Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, because this piece of software is also totally free, fast and reliable. It is the most popular web server out there and is a part of the LAMP bundle that lots of script applications, like WordPress and Joomla™, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

The end result of blending this custom setup with Linux is an incredibly stable, secure and fast service with basically no downtime. In addition, the web access is handled by Apache, for the reason that it is remarkably customizable and supports many modules and web programming languages which include PHP, Perl, Python, HTML, and so forth. Our semi-dedicated server plans will provide you with all the speed and dependability that you would like for your websites and we have made many software adjustments to be certain that we'll fulfill our uptime guarantee.
