Linux is an Operating System, that isn't that commonly used for desktop machines, but is amongst the most commonly used OSs for web servers. It is absolutely free, so you shall not need to pay any license fees as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is also thought to be the most secure OS nowadays and thanks to the permissions which files have as well as the file types that can be run, virus files that can easily infect a regular PC shall simply not be executed on a Linux-based server. In addition, the OS is freeware, so it could be altered with no constraints, so as to suit the requirements of the hosting company and their customers. This also means that unwanted software packages could be removed to make the OS lighter and faster, that can directly lead to far better hosting server performance. Many Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, due to the fact that this application is also 100 % free, quick and reliable. It is the most commonly used web server available and is a part of the LAMP bundle that lots of script apps, such as Joomla™ and WordPress, require. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
