Broadband Cloud Solutions provide only Linux webhosting services – but why? How does choosing Linux help your business?
Linux is free
The core Linux operating system is free; free to download, free to use and free to re-use. By using Linux, your webhosting costs are dramatically lower than an equivalent Windows server variant. Linux hosting costs only in terms of renting the hardware on which the site is hosted, and the technical expertise required to maintain it.
Linux is robust
Linux has been designed from the ground up to offer security, reliability and flexibility. Your company can focus on advertising and selling products and services via its website without concerns about reboots and downtime. Linux is also extremely scalable, allowing the addition of extra resources as your site traffic increases.
Linux is constantly being improved
Large corporations and enthusiastic individuals are constantly collaborating to extend and improve Linux. Free updates and security patches are released on a regular basis to keep your webserver and website protected and operating in peak performance.
Many other applications rely on Linux
Common website content management systems like WordPress and Joomla, and the MySQL database on which they sit, run best on Linux servers. Your first company website is almost certain to rely on one of these technologies.
