Today's web page hosting review ArticleAnother issue the webmasters have to consider when setting up a new online site is whether the operating system they are using will be able to use the full range of software and scripts that they require. Again, Linux web hosting is a winner in this regard. Lots of major web hosting companies offer Linux web hosting and with so many people using it around the world anything that you can do with Windows hosting can also be done with Linux web hosting. Many of the most popular script packages on the web today are available in both Windows and Linux web hosting versions, with the Linux web hosting version generally being more stable and having all of the same features as their Windows cousins. This is of course my opinion and I am sure that there are some who may disagree.
In April, Eleven2 Hosting expanded its corporate management team, through an appointment of a new Customer Service Director, Cory Beavers, a hosting industry veteran.

PHP Security in a shared hosting environmentThu, 14 Feb 2008 16:07:51 GMT
Most PHP-enabled webservers are configured in such a way that the mod_php Apache module is loaded along with Apache itself, thereby allowing HTTP requests to be passed through the PHP engine, which preprocesses the data before it is sent to the client.
