Linux is among the most popular Operating Systems for web servers. There are many different distributions using exactly the same core, but the greater part have a few things in common - they are totally free to use, which lessens the total cost of the web hosting service as license fees shall not be included in what you'll have to pay; they're very easy to manage; and last, but not least, they're significantly more secure as compared with competitor Operating Systems, since random files, particularly virus-infected ones, simply can't be executed on the hosting server. In this way, you’re able to enjoy a reliable service and spend the time developing and promoting your web sites, not being concerned about security issues. Many Linux-based machines use the Apache server to manage the HTTP traffic, as this piece of software is extremely quick and is also uncomplicated to maintain and individualize as per the requirements of the hosting provider. A Linux web server with Apache is the perfect software environment for your sites and it's not at all a coincidence that lots of popular script-driven apps nowadays require LAMP, which symbolizes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
