We have decided to focus on hosting on Linux servers, mainly because of the reasons listed below. Linux servers is made for hosting websites written in PHP, flash or plain html.
- Cost – The obvious advantage of Linux servers is that the software is free, while Microsoft software is available at hefty prices and sometimes recurring fees. Microsoft licenses are only allowed to be installed on a single computer, whereas a Linux distribution can be installed on any number of computers for free. So, in general, hosting your website on Linux servers, is more affordable.
- Security – The security on a Linux achine is typically much stronger than Windows. Why do you need to spend extra money for protection software? Linux operating systems has been around for quite some time now and has managed to stay secure, despite the constant attacks over the years. The Linux operating system is open source and if there was a widespread Linux virus released today, there would be patches released tomorrow, either by normal people on the street that use the operating system or even by the distribution maintainers. You would not have to wait for a patch to be released by a company, like Microsoft.
- Choice (That spells Freedom, doesn't it?) – Linux comes with one great advantage... the power of choice. You have the power to control just about every aspect of the operating system. Two major features are your desktops' look and feel by way of numerous Window Managers, and the kernel. In Windows, your either stuck using the desktop themes, or risking corruption or failure by installing a third-party shell. In the end, the choice is your really.
- Strength in support: We focus on linux servers because that is obviously where our experience and passion lies.
