The do's and Do not's of Choosing a Linux Hosting Company

Looking for a Linux website hosting company is never an easy job. If you would like to get it right then you need to take time to read reviews on the hosting companies that you have selected as possible options.

Remember that all website hosting reviews should be taken with a "pinch of salt". In other words believe it but do not take it "all to heart" because some hosting companies actually use black market advertising and promotion tricks and sometimes post their own reviews to make them look better.

When choosing a Linux Hosting Company, look for "just Linux". Try to avoid website hosting companies that offer both Linux and Windows based hosting because it is possible that they may run off the same server, just virtual; and that is not as good, secure or reliable as a "PURE" Linux hosting company.

Look for both affordability and reliability. - Remember; Reliable Linux Hosting plans tend to start at roughly $3 per month at least; any less and you are being "Had" (Mislead); somewhere.

Linux Website Hosting Companies

As stated in the first-ever Linux Website Hosting Blog Post, we would discuss Linux Website Hosting Companies as our first port of call.

Who or what are they?
Linux website hosting has been around for many years, and the companies behind Linux Website Hosting could be anyone from a hosting reseller, all the way up to a multi-national website hosting company that has expertise within various aspects of the website hosting industry.

Why is Linux Hosting more Affordable?
Linux Hosting is more affordable because the hosting platform is a Linux-based operating system) It's open source.

This means it is generally either free or low-cost. Open Source also means it is built by many developers and that its source code is openly available for viewing or editing (with permission).

Why is Linux Hosting Secure?
Below is a quote from "The Register" explaining why Linux Hosting is more secure than Windows hosting.


Attacks are of course aimed at Windows because of the numbers of users, but its
design makes it a much easier target, and much easier for an attack to wreak
havoc.


With this in mind, Linux is a "Community"-based project, which means that if a bug is found, it is fixed much faster than on any other operating system because there are millions of open-source developers who can help fix even the slightest bug in the Linux operating system.

Why choose a Linux Website Hosting Company?
I think that the majority of what is written above explains most of that, but in all fairness, the next three bullet points will give a broad overview of why.

  • It's more affordable
  • It's more secure
  • It'ss just as easy to use
Final Words
Linux website hosting has its strenghs and without a doubt, there are also some weaknesses but when looking for a website hosting that you know will be reliable, and secure; Linux based website hosting is the way forward.
