Linux is the most popular hosting OS for servers. Its known for its reliability, speed, efficiency and security. This is why Linux is a popular choice among hosting companies. Linux was originally started in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is open source, meaning users can contribute to it by adding features or improving on the existing code. At Penguin Web Hosting we are partial to the Community Enterprise edition of the Linux operating system (CentOS) for our host environment. We have used this Linux distro as the OS for our web hosting servers for a number of years now.
One common misconception is you have to use Linux at home if your web site is going to be on a host that uses Linux. This is not true, since the web site is designed in code which is not OS specific, such as HTML or PHP.
Another reason to host your web site with a Linux hosting provider is for security. Linux is an OS that is not prone to viruses, historically has had very few major security bugs, especially in the last couple years, and in the event there is a security bug, it is quickly patched by the Linux community.
We are confident you will find Linux hosts perfect for your website.
