The main advantage of the Linux operating system is that it is stable and reliable.We're talking about an operating system that doesn't have to be rebooted every couple of weeks just because of piss-poor programming and memory leaks like we see in some other commercial platforms (namely Windows, and to a lesser degree, Macintosh).

Add to this the most reliable web server on the net which is powering over half of the Internet servers, Apache HTTP Server is the leading edge of server software today.

Couple these open source development projects with some more like PHP, MySQL and Perl and you have a full featured web development platform. Most heavy hitter applications use PHP and MySQL because of its speed. A few are vBulletin, phpBB, WSNLinks, FreePHPDirectoryScript, phpWebsite, Drupal, Mambo, Coin, even full e-commerce shopping cart and inventory packages such as osCommerce, and there are many more such open source and commercial packages built on the php/MySQL platform.

We have come to know LAMP (LAMP refers to the Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP web hosting environment) grow up as a proper and better development environment that has been leading the industry since released, as the commercial alternatives simply have not measured up (ever).

We are proud to offer you the best platform for web development. Its open source roots keep it effective and inexpensive. We hope you will take advantage of its effectiveness and power as we have and will continue to do so.
