Linux is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for servers. There are several different distributions using the same core, but the great majority have a number of things in common - they are free to use, which lessens the total cost of the hosting service since license fees shall not be included in what you have to pay; they're easy to maintain; and last, but not least, they are much more protected in comparison with competitor OSs, as random files, especially virus-infected ones, simply can't be executed on the web server. That way, you can enjoy a reliable service and spend the time building and advertising your Internet sites, not bothering with basic safety problems. A lot of Linux-based machines use the Apache web server to deal with the HTTP traffic, because this software system is very fast and is also simple to maintain and individualize in accordance with the needs of the hosting provider. A Linux server with Apache is the perfect software environment for your Internet sites and it's not at all a coincidence that lots of popular script-driven apps out there require LAMP, that refers to Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

This is valid for every website that you host inside a web hosting account with our company.

You can use HTML, Python, Perl, JavaScript and any other web development language for your sites, due to the fact that they all can run on a Linux hosting server. We use the Apache web server, as our experience over time indicates that this is probably the most effective piece of software of its type.
Stable Linux with Apache in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are created on a cutting-edge custom platform. An independent cluster of web servers manages each individual service - databases, email messages, files, etcetera., and due to the fact that we highly appreciate the pros of an easy to customize, risk-free and dependable Operating System, all of the servers that make up the clusters run Linux. The Operating system permits us to make the critical modifications, not to mention the improved speed, because just one type of process runs on the hosting server, as opposed to the traditional website hosting platform provided by most companies in which everything runs on one web server. Additionally, we use the Apache web server also. We've tested its functionality over time, so we've confirmed that it can give us as a provider and you as a client the desired speed and adaptability for the absolute best Internet site performance.
