Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system. Linux’s kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To complete the operating system, Torvalds and other team members made use of system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU project.

    Linux is a remarkably complete operating system, including a graphical user interface, an X Window System, TCP/IP, the Emacs editor, and other components usually found in a comprehensive UNIX system. Although copyrights are held by various creators of Linux’s components, Linux is distributed using the Free Software Foundation’s copyleft stipulations that mean any modified version that is redistributed must in turn be freely available.

    Unlike Windows and other proprietary systems, Linux is publicly open and extendible by contributors. Because it conforms to the Portable Operating System Interface standard user and programming interfaces, developers can write programs that can be ported to other operating systems. Linux comes in versions for all the major microprocessor platforms including the Intel, PowerPC, Sparc, and Alpha platforms. It’s also available on IBM’s S/390. Linux is distributed commercially by a number of companies. A magazine, Linux Journal, is published as well as a number of books and pocket references.

    Linux is sometimes suggested as a possible publicly-developed alternative to the desktop predominance of Microsoft Windows. Although Linux is popular among users already familiar with UNIX, it remains far behind Windows in numbers of users. {/slide} {slide=Apache Web Server} Every web site in the world requires a web server to enable its information to be accessed. A web server works behind the scenes to transport web pages from across the world to your computer, forming a critical part of the Internet.

    When you are using the web, your browser requests the text and images that your computer then displays. These requests are sent over the Internet to remote computers. The web server software that runs on these computers takes the request from the browser, and sends back the files and data that make up that page.

    Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The August 2002 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that 63% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.

    Our servers are Unix based servers.{/slide} {slide=CPanel Web-Based Control Panel} Total Hosting offers you a graphical web-based system to administer your hosting account.

This is a great way to increase brand recognition to your website. {/slide} {slide=IP Address available, $1.25 per month} Each web hosting account is set-up by default as a Name-Based Account. This means that the hosting account uses the root IP address for the server which allows the web account to be found while sharing a single IP address with other accounts.

    You can run SSL, SSH, eCommerce and any other service you can think of using a name-based account. Name-based accounts can not have their own SSL certificate (you can use our shared certificate) or more than one SSH log in.

    Some people like having their own IP address. If you feel that you need one, they are available at the time of sign-up for a nominal monthly fee.{/slide} {slide=CGI-BIN} Every web hosting account from Total Hosting allows you the ability to run scripts in your own CGI-BIN.

On each page you put a simple ‘Include’ to read that file and place it on the desired pages. {/slide} {slide=Graphical Web Stats} This will filter your raw access logs and break them into an easy to read graphical form.
