Linux is an Operating System, that is not that commonly used for desktop machines, but is amongst the most commonly used OSs for servers. It is totally free, so you won't need to pay any license charges as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is also thought of as the most secure Operating System available and due to the permissions which files have as well as the file types that can be run, virus files that can infect a normal PC will simply not be executed on a Linux-based hosting server. Furthermore, the OS is free, so it can easily be changed without any limitations, in order to suit the needs of the hosting provider and their customers. This also means that unnecessary software packages can easily be removed to make the OS lighter and faster, which can directly result in far better server performance. A large number of Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, as this program is also free, quick and stable. It is the most popular web server around and is an element of the LAMP bundle that many script applications, such as WordPress and Joomla™, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
