Linux is a well known Operating System, that is frequently used for web servers, given that it has a number of advantages over other Operating Systems. It's regarded as the most secure Operating system nowadays and because of the way it works, infected files will simply not work. Because Linux is absolutely free to use, no license fees will be calculated in the price that you will have to pay for your web hosting service. That, subsequently, allows for the provider to personalize the OS according to what they and their clients require, getting rid of unwanted packages to boost the Operating system and the server’s overall performance. Linux servers typically include the Apache web server software, which processes site access requests. Apache is also totally free and easy to customize, not to mention that it is extremely fast and light in terms of the resources it requires. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is the software environment which many of the most popular script applications require – Joomla, Moodle, WordPress, etc. The LAMP configuration is the most commonly used one around the globe, since it's stable and simple to maintain.
