  1. Is Linux a better choice of OS for shared web hosting? If you have a new, relatively undemanding online business, chances are you will opt for shared web hosting. Why? Because shared hosting is the single most affordable and convenient method to host your websites. This makes it the most common option for those seeking web hosting services for their business. As its name suggests, this form of hosting describes an instance in which a single server hosts multiple websites. These websites share a set of computing resources, which is essentially what makes this option so affordable. Shared hosts can support a variety of platforms such as WordPress or Joomla and the process is very easy to set up. Despite its disadvantages, shared hosting remains the ideal solution for small to medium businesses that take up a minimum investment until things really start taking off. As a reference point, it’s only when your website grows, say over 30,000 visitors per month, that you should look for other types of hosting that offer more resources. When it comes to operating systems for shared hosts, Linux is the preferred choice for many reasons. This OS allows the use of PHP, Python, CGI and Pearl, all of which are very popular choices among webmasters. It’s also known as one of the most stable choices in terms of web hosting, but it’s also flexible and… free! Which brings us back to the question: is Linux a better choice of OS for shared web hosting? Many argue it is. One of the most obvious advantages is, of course, the cost. The fact that Linux is an open source platform allows hosting companies to keep their prices lower compared to Windows hosting. What’s more, Linux-based shared hosting will often come with many free and popular scripts, such as Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, phpBB and many others. In point of security, this operating system has proven time and time again to be more secure than any other choice. Security is essential in a shared hosting environment, so opting for a Linux- based shared host sounds like a wise choice. Another benefit of Linux comes from its simplicity. In most cases, it’s easier and more user- friendly than Windows hosting. Since Linux can use MySQL, Perl and PHP, it has become known as an extremely easy system to use.
