Linux is an OS, that isn't that common for desktop machines, but is one of the most widely used OSs for web servers. It is 100 free, so it can be changed with no constraints, so as to match the needs of the hosting company and their clients. This implies that unwanted software packages could be removed to make the OS lighter and swifter, which could directly result in a lot better hosting server performance. Lots of Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, due to the fact that this application is also 100 % free, fast and secure. It's the most popular web server available and is an element of the LAMP bundle that a great many script apps, like WordPress and Joomla™, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Stable Linux with Apache in Web Hosting

All the web servers which are a part of our progressive cloud website hosting platform run Linux so as to ensure their fast and stable operations, that will consequently lead to much better overall site functionality. That is valid for each and every site that you host within a web hosting account with our company. Each part of the web hosting service (e-mail messages, databases, files) will be addressed by its own cluster of servers, so just one type of processes will run on a certain hosting server, which will contribute to the amazing loading speed of your sites even more. You can use HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl and just about any other web development language for your sites, as they all can run on a Linux web server. In addition we use the Apache web server, as our experience over the years indicates that this is probably the best piece of software of its sort.
