Linux hosting has become increasingly in recent years. In all parts of the world, more than 60% of network servers now run Linux operating system and, from its humble beginnings at the Massachusetts Institute for Comprehensive Cooperation technology and lines of the Draft Programmed of the mid-1980s, has grown to Linux to become the world's dominant solution free of charge.

Linux is open source software project cooperation. Under the terms and conditions of the Linux General Public License, all of the source code that makes this task the operating system can be modified freely by anyone at all.

Has allowed this open source" approach to the development of software code writers from all over the world to contribute to the development and evolution of this operating system is unique. This situation contrasts sharply with organizations such as Microsoft, who still jealously guard the secrets of all systems, and their products. Many observers predicted the approach of open source software development would inevitably lead to programs that were horribly bloated full of mistakes and contradictions. In fact, turned to the contrary be true, it has been shown to be a Linux operating system is extremely stable and well designed.

Web hosting companies quickly realized that Linux can be provided free of charge to provide a number of clear advantages. Which operating system their own and inexpensive to replace. It is very easy to install and use and maintenance. It is a powerful, stable, safe and reliable. More importantly, when asked to set almost inevitable modifications and customizations, has ensured the open nature of the project for Linux that a very wide range of individuals with expertise and non-freely available.

Many advantages that offer Linux hosting organizations are also important for webmasters and web developers. Excellent reliability means that the hosting companies run Linux systems will usually be based on the excellent (in other words, very low), down time, numbers, and their host tend to be very resistant to virus attack. The latter is largely due to virus writers still tend to focus on the Windows operating systems, and of course this may change in future. However, for a moment, and host security is still a big advantage of Linux systems on the basis .

However, perhaps the most important weapon in the arsenal of Linux is the freedom of this system allows Web developers to exploit others, extremely popular and open source products, such as cell Python, XML lobby. It has grown each of these systems in popular software along with Linux. Made the control options and integration at the heart of Linux as the logical choice for each of the hosts and developers who want to take advantage of this powerful open source product.

Finally, almost all Linux systems now come with hosting Control Panel, Control Panel is very popular. Perhaps this was easy to use interface, and more than anything else, which proved to be the killer application for Linux.
