  What operating system is run on your servers?

At DFH we choose a Red Hat distribution of linux for all our servers. Red Hat is a leader in providing stable and reliable operating systems for enterprise and end users.

  So why choose linux and not another vendor for your operating system?

Servers running linux (like most other unix operating systems) have unparalleled uptime and stability. Microsoft products are more susceptible to viruses and hackers (have you ever noticed the amount of windows updates?) and because of that are greater targets for those people wanting to execute malicious acts. We think the linux OS is the best choice for a web server that is on the internet 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
