Linux is among the frequently used OSs for web servers. There are tens of different distributions which use the same core, but the greater part have several things in common - they're free to use, which minimizes the overall cost of the hosting service since license fees won't be included in what you'll have to pay; they are easy to maintain; and last, but not least, they're far more secure than competitor OSs, as random files, specifically virus-infected ones, just cannot be executed on the hosting server. Thus, you’re able to enjoy a reliable service and spend the time developing and advertising your web sites, not bothering with safety problems. Many Linux-based machines use the Apache server to deal with the HTTP traffic, because this piece of software is really fast and is also effortless to maintain and modify depending on the needs of the hosting provider. A Linux server with Apache is the ideal software environment for your sites and it's not at all a coincidence that lots of popular script-driven applications on the market require LAMP, that refers to Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

We have made a decision to use Linux on our web servers also, given that no other Operating System can match its overall flexibility and without it, we would not have had the opportunity to create our custom web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are set up. The platform consists of significant clusters of machines, each addressing a particular part of the web hosting service - databases, e-mails, files, the Control Panel, and so forth. The end result of combining this custom setup with Linux is a really dependable, risk-free and quick service with zero downtime. Also, the web access is addressed by Apache, due to the fact that it is extremely customizable and supports lots of modules and web programming languages such as PHP, Perl, Python, HTML, etcetera.
