Linux Hosting

Linux covers hundreds of different flavors of Linux and Unix variants.  Linux based servers are based on ssh, and therefore some developers may need ssh access to perform certain tasks. Linux distributions are the cornerstone of the LAMP server-software combination (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) which has achieved popularity among developers, and which is one of the more common platforms for website hosting.

Linux offers several benefits over Windows including:

  • Cost - For web hosts, Linux is free, which is a wee bit cheaper than Windows, and they are able to pass those savings on to you so you pay a smaller payment.
  • Diverse scripting language support - Whether you need PHP, Ruby on Rails, Perl, or Python, a Linux web hosting platform will usually support them all by default.
Linux disadvantages include:
  • ASP and .NET support - It is far less common to find a Linux web hosting platform that supports ASP or .NET.
Control panels simplify common web hosting tasks and are available in both Windows and Linux.   Nexwrx can automate tasks, assist in the installation of an SSL certificate, create web and database backups, as well as manage accounts.  Control panels make it easier to perform tasks that would require more time for setup and less time for development.   Performing these tasks in a centralized location allows developers to focus more time on the actual goals of the project.

Linux Hosting is the answer to providing technology you need without the expense or in house IT, Administration or Equipment. Pay for what you use.

There are many advantages of using Linux hosting over Windows hosting.The most important ones are security and Cost.The Linux web hosting provides more security than Windows.The cost is also less when compared to windows.I always host my websites using Linux web hosting from 9cubehosting.com at low cost.They are providing many features with good customer service and support at 24/7.The servers are 99% uptime.This is the most safe and reliable website.

We developer have a lot of option to program with .php and My SQL yet use a window system to develop the software or web application. Its easy, affordable and getting towards to become universal favorite programming language and most of the web hosting company provide Linux Hosting packages, which are cheaper then hosting on a window server.
