Linux is a well-known Operating System, which is commonly used for web servers, due to the fact it has a wide variety of advantages over other Operating Systems. It is regarded as being the most reliable Operating system available and because of the way it functions, infected files will simply not work. As Linux is totally free to use, no license fees will be added to the price which you'll have to pay for your website hosting service. That, subsequently, enables the provider to personalize the Operating system depending on what they and their customers need, removing unnecessary packages to improve the OS and the server’s functionality. Linux servers normally feature the Apache server software, that processes site access requests. Apache is furthermore 100 % free and customizable, not to mention that it's really fast and light in terms of the resources it requires. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is the software environment which a lot of the most well-known script applications require – Joomla™, WordPress, Moodle, etcetera. The LAMP configuration is the most popular one globally, as it's stable and easy to maintain.
