Linux is amongst the most popular Operating Systems for servers. There are several different distributions that use exactly the same core, but the majority have a number of things in common - they're absolutely free to use, which cuts down the total cost of the hosting service as license fees shall not be included in what you need to pay; they are quite simple to maintain; and last, but not least, they are considerably more secure compared with competitor OSs, because random files, particularly virus-infected ones, simply cannot be executed on the hosting server. This way, you’ll be able to enjoy a reliable service and spend the time developing and promoting your websites, not worrying about security problems. Countless Linux-based machines use the Apache web server to handle the HTTP traffic, as this software system is very quick and is also simple to maintain and individualize depending on the needs of the hosting provider. A Linux server with Apache is the best software environment for your sites and it's not at all a coincidence that numerous popular script-driven apps on the market require LAMP, which symbolizes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
Stable Linux with Apache in Shared Hosting

That is valid for each website that you host in a shared hosting account with us.

You could use HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python and just about any other web development language for your sites, because they all can run on a Linux hosting server. Additionally we use the Apache web server, as our experience over the years has proven that it is probably the perfect software of its sort.

An individual cluster of servers handles each individual service - databases, e-mails, files, etc., and considering that we highly treasure the benefits of a custom-made, secure and reliable Operating System, all of the servers which make up the groups run Linux. The Operating system enables us to make the critical changes, not to mention the improved speed, as only one type of process runs on the server, contrary to the typical hosting platform provided by most companies where everything runs on one hosting server. Furthermore, we use the Apache web server too. We've evaluated its capabilities through the years, so we've confirmed that it could give us as a provider and you as a customer the desired speed and flexibility for the absolute best site performance.
