Linux is an Operating System, which is not that frequently used for desktop machines, but is one of the most widely used OSs for web servers. It's free of charge, so you won't need to pay any license costs as part of your website hosting payments. Linux is also considered to be the most reliable Operating System these days and thanks to the permissions that files have and the file types that can be run, virus files that can infect an average computer system will simply not be executed on a Linux-based hosting server. In addition, the Operating System is totally free, so it could be changed with no limits, in order to satisfy the requirements of the website hosting provider and their customers. This implies that unnecessary software packages can easily be removed to make the Operating system lighter and a lot quicker, that may directly lead to significantly better server performance. Many Linux machines have the Apache web server installed on them, due to the fact that this software is also free, fast and reliable. It is the most widely used web server around and is a part of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script apps, such as Joomla™ and WordPress, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
