Reseller Hosting Linux
Reseller Hosting Linux
Reseller hosting Linux based systems is a popular way for many people to get into business for themselves. Reseller hosting of any type is a good idea, since it allows a person with low start up capital to get into the business of web hosting. By doing such, they are providing personal service to customers and making sure that they get their needs met, building up a large paying clientele - all without the cost of servers and personnel that larger companies have to absorb. Reseller hosting Linux based systems makes even more sense because of the stability of Linux operating systems. Many computer and information technology professionals believe that Linux, in all of its different versions, is a far superior platform to Microsoft’s Windows platform, and yet Linux is still quite compatible with Windows. There are rarely problems in running Windows systems on a Linux server, and there is far less down time, far fewer server crashes, and in the end that means less money lost by the reseller hosting Linux systems, more money made, and fewer angry customers. The bottom line is that it is simply a healthier bottom line all the way around.
Linux itself is bottom line conscious in its history. Developed in the early 1980s, originally for the 386 operating system on which early versions of Windows first became popular, Linux was designed to be a free version of Unix, with open source code unlike the proprietary operating systems like Windows and the Macintosh OS, or even MS-DOS which was still popular at the time. Anyone could look at the code and make modifications or improvements. Hobbyists, students, hackers, and others loved Linux, and eventually major corporations like IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Novell and Sun Microsystems adopted it and development accelerated.
Reseller hosting Linux based organizations have had competition from Windows NT, a more stable and professional version of Windows, and Microsoft adherents and fans sometimes prefer Windows NT, or the current Windows XP. However, the fans of Linux based systems have continued to grow, and it is the strongest competitor Microsoft has in the operating system arena. The open source code allows changes and improvements without having to go through the cumbersome corporate structure of Microsoft and many programmers enjoy that freedom. As a choice for an entrepreneur merely wishing to be a reseller of web hosting, using a company that uses Linux makes a great deal of sense. Customer service is one of the most important aspects of any business, and using Linux based hosting system which results in less downtime means happier customers, and that leads to happier companies and thicker wallets.
