Linux is a well-known OS, which is frequently used for web servers, because it has a wide variety of advantages over other OSs. It is considered to be the most solid OS out there and owing to the way it runs, infected files will simply not work. Because Linux is absolutely free to use, no license fees shall be calculated in the price you will have to pay for your website hosting service. That, in turn, allows for the provider to personalize the Operating system according to what they and their clients require, removing unnecessary packages to improve the OS and the server’s general performance. Linux servers normally include the Apache server software, that processes website access requests. Apache is also free and easy to customize, not to mention that it is very fast and light with regard to the system resources it requires. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is the software environment which a number of the most popular script applications require – Moodle, Joomla™, WordPress,, etcetera. The LAMP configuration is the most commonly used one globally, since it's stable and easy to maintain.
