Linux hosting

When it comes to Web hosting, Linux is widely considered to be the best operating system for web servers. Characteristically reliable, stable and efficient, Linux is proven in the most demanding environments of web and mail servers.

If you plan to incorporate work that uses PHP, Perl or MySQL languages, Linux is the solution you should choose. Linux is also ideal for the kind of websites that display information as a brochure, in newsletter format or as data sheets. Linux works well for ‘brochure-ware’ sites that offer interaction via enquiry forms, online purchasing and other e-commerce functions.

Essential programs such as Microsoft FrontPage ® can also be successfully used with Linux technology, with 1&1 offering FrontPage extensions with Linux solutions so that you can use this popular web publishing program without hindrance.

Choose the right solution

Consider the tools and scripting language you plan to use – if you use PHP, MySQL or Perl together with a variety of software programs, Linux is the one for you. If the applications you plan to use are Microsoft-Specific, then Microsoft hosting is likely to be the right choice. Either way, check out all the features on the 1&1 shared hosting packages available, and you’ll see the variety of ways you’ll be able to bring your web project to life.
