Additionally, the OS is totally free, so it can be customized without any restrictions, so that it will suit the requirements of the hosting provider and their customers. This also means that unnecessary software packages can be removed to make the Operating system lighter and faster, which could directly lead to significantly better hosting server performance. A lot of Linux machines have the Apache web server set up on them, since this application is also free, fast and reliable. It's the most popular web server available and is a part of the LAMP bundle that numerous script apps, like WordPress and Joomla™, need. LAMP is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
