Web and FTP

Web and FTP servers are the most commonly used servers run on linux OS. Linux has become such a popular choice for servers because of its wide range of applications and tools, which allow users to customize their systems and configure them to perform virtually any task.

For the companies that run web applications or have heavy traffic on their website, hosting a linux based webserver is the most cost effective solution. Linux can be used to run the web applications while still being affordable. In most cases, you can save money on licensing fees because Linux is offered as open source, unless your company requires RHEL or Oracle.

Not only Linux is free, its also much light weight as compared to Windows. Windows being graphical, uses alot of memory while starting up while Linux uses alot less memory while starting up. Therefore the website or web application you run can use the rest of the available memory, therefore the website will perform much faster on a Linux machine as compared to a Windows machine.

The most common uses for Linux servers include web hosting, database management, file sharing, game servers and virtualization — all of which require specific software packages or libraries to run properly. Fortunately, the open source nature of Linux makes it easy to find the necessary components for any type of application or use case. The need to purchase expensive commercial software is reduced.

Linux has numerous features that makes it more secure than Windows. An important security feature is access control capability, which allows admins to set permissions and restrictions on user accounts and files. For example, administrators can set read-only or write-only access rights for users to prevent unauthorized programs from executing on their servers. Additionally, Linux supports multiple authentication methods such as username/password combinations, smart cards, biometrics, and digital certificates. These provide an extra layer of protection by verifying the identity of each user before granting access to data and resources.

Linux has been a popular choice for server operating systems due to its outstanding reliability. It’s incredibly secure, which makes it well-suited for mission-critical tasks. Linux’s robust open-source codebase and highly active development community mean bugs can quickly be identified and patched. Additionally, many available packages make tools easily accessible to complete the tasks at hand.
