Linux is among the most popular OSs for servers. There are many different distributions which use the exact same core, but the vast majority have several things in common - they're free to use, which decreases the overall cost of the web hosting service due to the fact that license fees will not be included in what you will have to pay; they're easy to manage; and last, but not least, they're much more secure as compared with competitor OSs, as random files, specifically virus-infected ones, just can't be executed on the server. This way, you are able to enjoy a secure service and spend the time building and advertising your web sites, not bothering with security issues. Many Linux-based machines use the Apache server to handle the HTTP traffic, since this piece of software is very quick and is also easy to maintain and customize as per the requirements of the website hosting provider. A Linux server with Apache is the best software environment for your sites and it isn't a coincidence that numerous popular script-driven apps out there require LAMP, that symbolizes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
Stable Linux with Apache in Cloud Web Hosting
All of the servers that are a part of our progressive cloud hosting platform run Linux as a way to guarantee their fast and stable functioning, that will in turn lead to better overall website functionality. That's valid for each and every site that you host within a cloud web hosting account with our company. Every part of the web hosting service (e-mails, databases, files) will be managed by its own cluster of servers, so just one type of processes shall run on a particular server, that will contribute to the rapid loading speed of your websites even more. You could use HTML, Python, Perl, JavaScript and almost any other web development language for your websites, due to the fact that they all can run on a Linux machine. We also use the Apache web server, because our experience throughout the years has proven that this is probably the ideal piece of software of its sort.
Stable Linux with Apache in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on a cutting-edge custom platform. An individual group of web servers is in charge of every service - databases, email messages, files, etc., and given that we highly value the benefits of a personalized, risk-free and stable Operating System, all the web servers that comprise the clusters run Linux. The OS allows us to make the needed changes, not to mention the raised speed, due to the fact just one type of process runs on the server, unlike the traditional web hosting platform made available from most companies in which everything runs on one machine. Moreover, we use the Apache web server also. We've analyzed its capabilities through the years, so we've confirmed that it can give us as a provider and you as a customer the wanted speed and versatility for the most effective web site performance.
