what are the application of Unix hosting ?

[alemcherry]

The same application of wondows hosting! Basically to host a web site.
Spammers seems to be starting lots of threads here and I am probably doing them a favour by actually replying!

[cutabovehost]

Most people use Apache for a web server. Some use Litespeed, but I get better results from Apache though.
The usual FTP is proftp. As for email most people are using Exim for SMTP.
You can get the whole setup ready for hosting using cPanel.

If you are looking for a good web hosting provider then some things are keep in mind, one thing is hosting prices because it vary according to the kind of hosting so you should have deep knowledge about your hosting package like number of domains you get, which tools the web hosting company provides, about space and bandwidth and any other extra feature or bonus if offered.

web hosting plan which supports UNIX, a computer operating system developed by Bell Laboratories.

The same program of wondows hosting! Generally to coordinator a website.
Spammers seems to be beginning many strings here and I am probably doing them a give preference to by actually replying!

In terms of web hosting, UNIX supporters will tell you that UNIX offers a lower cost of development than Windows because most UNIX hosting plans are cheaper than Windows hosting plans. Why? Because most web hosts use a free version of UNIX (like Linux or FreeBSD) so they don't have to pay thousands of dollars to buy the operating system and associated tools to run the server or pay to upgrade their licenses every few years. Microsoft will tell you that the reverse is true however with the time and energy you spend supporting yourself offsetting any cost gains in the free OS.

Unix hosting is hosting provided by the robust Unix operating system. Linux servers are known for their value, stability and wide feature set. You do not have to be running Linux to use a hosting provider with Linux Servers. It is simply the software used by the server to share out a website.

[webcreations]

Unix hosting is the most commonly used operating system among Web servers. Unix is a text-based, multitasking operating system that is designed to be used by many people at the same time.UNIX hosting is the most common web hosting platform today. The term UNIX refers to a computer operating system which provides the base operating system architecture for many open source companies including Solaris (Sun), Linux (GNU) and others. UNIX has been around for years and is the choice language for mid-frame computer users. UNIX hosting solutions is considered more available due to open source distribution of its operating system. LINUX hosting is a version of UNIX that has gained popularity because of its stability as an operating system. You will find these two terms being used interchangeably, which effectively refers to the same type of hosting solution.

Hi,

Most of the people use Apache for a web server. However, some will use Litespeed, According to me Apache is the best one..
In cpanel, you can access its features..

[adnanmazhar]

I was also thinking about using the Unix Hosting but having some concerns , now i can shift to Unix Hosting. Thanks

Unix hosting is the predominant form of cheap hosting based on servers running a Unix like operating system. Unix (or its free cousin Linux) is an alternative to Microsoft's Windows operating systems and has become very popular because of the availability of a many free or low cost tools and applications such as the Apache web server software.

According to Ehow, the main advantages of Unix OS are:

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 inforamtion,thanks for posting with us

Linux and windows both platforms can often adapt to your growing needs, Windows hosting is more easily made compatible with UNIX-based programming features like PHP and MySQL.

[vikas_patel]

Unix is a very versatile and stable platform that is ideal for virtual web hosting and the majority of our clients prefer Unix web hosting. Based on your needs and preferences, Unix Web hosting may be the choice for you and your website.

[Bluesky94]

The same program of wondows hosting! Generally to coordinator a website.

[nikoscorporate]

Servers hosting your web site require operating systems and licenses just like everyone else. Windows 2003 and other related applications like SQL Server each cost a significant amount of money; on the other hand, Linux is a free operating system to download, install and operate.

[kasif]

Unix based hosting is generally seen as being more stable, it also performs faster and can be more secure since most malicious software is written to cause damage to windows.

[zuri]

Well the difference between it and windows is that UNIX-based hosting is generally seen as being more stable, it also performs faster and can be more secure since most malicious software is written to cause damage to Windows.

[kunalkumar]

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.

While it is difficult to say which one is the better choice, it is not as difficult to answer which is the better choice given your needs. The language which your site is programmed in is what primarily dictates the type of hosting you need.

The operating system that you use on your desktop computer (the vast majority of people use some flavor of Windows) has absolutely nothing to do with the one that your host needs to serve your web site. Most personal sites are created with MS FrontPage and even although that is a Microsoft product, it can be hosted perfectly on a UNIX web server with FrontPage Extensions installed.

UNIX have While there is some debate about which operating system performs better, in our experience both perform comparably in low-stress conditions however UNIX servers under high load (which is what is important) are superior to Windows.

[incomecracker]

Web Hosting Hub servers run on the latest version of Enterprise Class Linux OS (CentOS) - stable, secure, flexible unix-like platform with finely tuned configurations so you can get the most out of your hosting account.

I don't know more about unix hosting but i here linux hosting or windows hosting.
so pleas describe about unix hosting.

[samim]

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.

[raaj]

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.
