Thread: Unix hosting ?

  1. #31
    If you are going to add dynamic content on your site using PHP or CGl scripts and want to interface with a mySQL database. then you should choose UNIX for better compatibility with these applications.

    1, Support for BYOD environments - ETX allows Mac, PC, Linux, or iPad users to seamlessly launch remote UNIX desktop and application.
    2, Single sign-on and LDAP integration- Through support for kerberos and GSSAPI, ETX client grants all users transparent access to remote resources without re-authentication.
    3, Ability to resume, suspend and terminate sessions on UNIX hosts.

  3. #33
    The Unix operating system was developed in the early seventies and rewritten in the programming language 'C' which gave it the ability to outlive the hardware it lived on which was a very significant development.

    Stability

    Large servers that power e-mail and web services often use Unix operating systems because of the design, which is focused on stability and flexibility. Companies that run servers require them to stay up and running for long periods of time, maintaining all the files on the server so they can always be accessed reliably. Often, the measured up-time (or the time a computer has been running without a shutdown or reboot) of a Unix system can be months or even years. Unix systems also allow users to choose from several different methods of file storage, so servers can be tailored to store certain data in the most stable and efficient way possible.

    Efficiency

    Unix systems can be a cost-effective alternative to other operating systems because they require less resources, and they run well on hardware without causing slowdowns in computing or graphical functionality. Other operating systems may only work on advanced hardware, or require large amounts of memory or disk space. Unix systems have made significant advances in processor and memory usage techniques, and tend to handle the resources more efficiently. Because of this, Unix systems can be installed on older hardware with little or no performance loss. This results in smaller hardware costs and a wider range of hardware options.


    Cost

    Most Unix systems (such as Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD) are absolutely free, released under open-source licensing. This spares users from costly upgrade cycles once a particular system is out of date. Most applications for Unix systems also cost nothing; they come bundled with the system and are ready "out of the box." Software for tasks such as word processing (OpenOffice.org) and image manipulation similar to Photoshop (Gimp) are available at no cost to the user. Unlike other systems, most of these programs come already installed, configured and ready for use.

    Security

    Unix systems were originally conceived and built as multi-user, networked systems, which contributes to their overall security. Employing a multi-user setup requires that each user have his or her own credentials to access system resources, and administrator privileges are required to install software or run any program that accesses sensitive information. Also, Unix desktops and workstations comprise only a relatively small part of the overall desktop market. Therefore, hackers rarely write trojans and worms to attack them, focusing instead on Windows systems.
    Nice information. thank you

    In the world of web site hosting there are two main types of operating system platforms on which you may host your web site, namely: UNIX and Windows. Each has its own set of unique features, advantages and disadvantages.
