Which Linux is Best for Hosting?

Linux is available in several distributions, each of which is designed to perform differently. It is very important for you to choose the right hosting server. Since the basic functioning of web hosting is similar in all distributions, there is not much difference on which distribution you work on.

The most commonly used and popular Linux hosting servers include Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, RedHat etc.

One fundamental advantage of Linux is that it is an open source and open application. Most of the distributions are free and the best distros for server hosting include

1. Debian: It is one of the oldest Linux distributions first developed in 1993. It is the most stable and versatile supported and maintained by a well-organized team of professional developers. However, it requires the users to be technically skilled.

2. Ubuntu: Ubuntu is simple yet robust distribution platform and has a strong community to support. It offers a vast database of all its versions thus giving versatility and easy for the administrators to move from one kernel to another until they find the one that best suits them.

3. CentOS: Based on the Red Hat enterprise Linux, CentOS is a popular web hosting distribution platform. It is sturdy, secure and stable distribution available and has the backing and support of RHEL.
