Linux is an OS, which is not that widely used for desktop machines, but is among the most frequently used OSs for servers. It is 100 % free, so you shall not need to pay any license costs as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is also regarded as the most reliable OS these days and thanks to the permissions which files have as well as the file types that can be run, virus files that may infect a normal computer will simply not be executed on a Linux-based hosting server. Moreover, the OS is free, so it can be altered without any restrictions, in order to meet the needs of the website hosting company and their customers. This implies that needless software packages can be removed to make the Operating system lighter and quicker, which can directly contribute to a lot better hosting server performance. Lots of Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, since this application is also free, quick and secure. It is the most frequently used web server around and is an element of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script apps, such as WordPress and Joomla™, require. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
