Linux hosting – A short introduction to this UNIX technology
Linux Website Hosting
Linux is considered to be the most efficient operating system for web servers. It’s characteristics are equaled with reliability, stability and unmatched efficiency.
Linux has been tested in the toughest environments where stability is a must, like on web-ecommerce and mail servers. Why Google choose servers using Linux speaks for it self. Why the Norwegian, Finnish and other countries governments choose Linux for the main bulk of servers running their virtual countries also speaks for itself.
For computer languages like PHP, Perl or MySQL , Linux would be the natural choice. Linux is ideal for websites dealing with information management. It works well for sites that offer real-time interaction via forms, online purchasing and other e-commerce functions.
Widely used programs like Microsoft FrontPage ® can be successfully incorporated with Linux operated web technology as well as most Internet based programs.
If you plan to run a php CMS (content management system) your choice would clearly benefit from being runned on a Linux based server.
