Linux is furthermore regarded as being the most secure Operating System around and due to the permissions which files have and the file types that can be run, virus files that could infect a normal personal computer shall simply not be executed on a Linux-based hosting server. Furthermore, the Operating System is totally free, so it can easily be changed without any limitations, so as to satisfy the needs of the hosting company and their clients. This also means that needless software packages can be removed to make the OS lighter and swifter, that can directly contribute to much better hosting server performance. Numerous Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, because this application is also free, quick and reliable. It's the most widely used web server available and is an element of the LAMP bundle that many script applications, including WordPress and Joomla™, require. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
