Software

ServerPro uses the best-of-breed software for web hosting. We believe that selecting the right operating system along with the right tools can mean the difference between night and day.

Below is a list of just some of the software we offer our customers:

	Red Hat Linux
	The Linux operating system is world-renowned for its stability, efficiency, and rich feature set of server tools. This is why we have chosen to offer our clients Red Hat Linux as our standard operating system in which all other services run on top of.

	Apache Web Server
	The Apache Web Server is the most popular web server software in use today. Its extensibility, security, and close integration with Perl CGI, PHP, MySQL, and Linux makes it a great choice for today's webmaster.

	Microsoft Frontpage Extensions
	Microsoft has made dynamic web site creation easy and quick with Frontpage. To fully take advantage of its more powerful features (such as counters, guest books, message boards, etc.), we have installed the Frontpage Extensions module on each of our servers.

	PHP Scripting
	PHP has become wildly popular due to its vast performance advantages over traditional Perl CGI. Coupled with tight MySQL database integration, PHP has become one of the most powerful server-side scripting languages on the internet.

	MySQL Database
	MySQL is an effective and popular database engine used to run bulletin boards, shopping carts, guest books, counters, membership programs, and a host of other CGI/PHP applications. Tightly integrated with the Apache Web Server, MySQL is our database software of choice.

	SSH (Secure Shell)
	Traditionally webmasters have used Telnet to log in to and administer their web sites. However, Telnet's clear-text communication methods have proven to be a security hazard. This is why we offer SSH, a safe form of doing the same thing. All communications with the server are encrypted and made very secure.
