Linux is an OS, which is not that frequently used for desktop machines, but is among the most widely used OSs for servers. It is 100 free, so it can be modified without any restrictions, so that it will match the needs of the web hosting provider and their clients. This also means that unneeded software packages may be removed to make the Operating system lighter and quicker, that may directly lead to much better server performance. Numerous Linux machines have the Apache web server set up on them, because this program is also free, fast and reliable. It's the most frequently used web server around and is an element of the LAMP bundle that numerous script apps, such as Joomla™ and WordPress, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Stable Linux with Apache in Cloud Hosting

All of the servers which are a part of our progressive cloud hosting platform run Linux so as to guarantee their fast and stable operations, which will subsequently lead to better overall site functionality. That is valid for every site that you host within a cloud hosting account with us. Each part of the website hosting service (e-mail messages, databases, files) shall be handled by its own cluster of machines, so only one type of processes will run on a particular web server, which will contribute to the rapid loading speed of your Internet sites even more. You can use HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python and just about any other web development language for your websites, due to the fact that they all can run on a Linux hosting server. We use the Apache web server, as our experience over the years has proven that this is probably the best software of its type.
