Linux VPS

Linux VPS

The Linux family of operating systems is very popular because of its high stability, modest system requirements, and security. In addition, renting a Linux VPS will be much cheaper compared to Windows Server, because most of the existing distributions are distributed for free. There is no license fee – the cost of monthly rent is reduced, simple as that.

Another important advantage of Linux VPS is the possibility of flexible optimization and deep customization for specific tasks, starting with ensuring the operation of the mail server and ending with the placement of online store sites. By installing and configuring built-in utilities and tools, you can provide an extremely stable and reliable platform for projects hosted on the server.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Linux operating system

1. Lower consumption of system resources compared to Windows. Here, of course, everything depends on the distribution used, its version, as well as on the number of additional utilities.
2. Extremely high stability and fault tolerance, the system is perfectly optimized for working with SSH. As an alternative, you can use an FTP connection.
3. Simplicity and ease of management – but beginners at first will have to learn a lot of console commands for effective administration.
4. Open source code allows you to change and modernize the system in every possible way to suit your needs.
5. It is well suited for working with open source software: PHP/Perl, Java, SSH, Python.

VPS Linux is ideal for hosting websites and any other projects, because the server capacity scales well, and if necessary, you can clearly differentiate the access levels for all users.

What is the difference between Linux VPS and Windows VPS

If you need to work with .NET Framework or programming languages that Linux does not support, then this hosting option will not work, and then you need to choose the option of renting a server running Windows Server. The key difference between Linux VPS and Windows VPS consists in supported development tools and control panels. For example, there is no Access support on Linux, as well as ASP (.NET, AJAX), but on Windows, you can work with this. The reverse situation is high-level programming languages Python and Perl, which are much more convenient to work with on Linux, since the module is installed with just one command via the console. In general, it is necessary to clearly understand which OS is best suited for your tasks.
