Linux is an Operating System, which isn't that frequently used for desktop machines, but is among the most popular OSs for web servers. It is totally free, so you will not have to pay any license costs as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is furthermore thought to be the most risk-free OS these days and thanks to the permissions that files have and the file types that can be run, virus files that can easily infect an average computer will simply not be executed on a Linux-based hosting server. Furthermore, the OS is totally free, so it could be altered without any restrictions, as a way to match the needs of the web hosting company and their clients. This also implies that unwanted software packages can be removed to make the OS lighter and a lot quicker, which can directly contribute to a lot better server performance. Many Linux machines have the Apache web server set up on them, because this application is also absolutely free, quick and stable. It is the most commonly used web server around and is a part of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script applications, including WordPress and Joomla™, require. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
