Linux is an Operating System, which isn't that widely used for desktop machines, but is one of the most frequently used OSs for servers. It is absolutely free, so you will not need to pay any license charges as part of your web hosting payments. Linux is furthermore thought of as the most risk-free Operating System nowadays and thanks to the permissions which files have along with the file types that can be run, virus files that could infect an average PC will simply not be executed on a Linux-based server. Also, the OS is 100 % free, so it could be changed without any restrictions, so that it will satisfy the needs of the hosting company and their clients. This also suggests that needless software packages may be removed to make the Operating system lighter and a lot quicker, that can directly contribute to significantly better hosting server performance. Numerous Linux machines have the Apache web server set up on them, due to the fact that this piece of software is also absolutely free, quick and stable. It's the most widely used web server out there and is part of the LAMP bundle that a lot of script applications, such as WordPress and Joomla™, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
