What is OpenBSD Hosting?
Like many other popular UNIX-based operating systems, OpenBSD is a modern-day successor of Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
BSD was originally developed in the late 1970s, and remains current in dozens of different forms today. This keystone of modern computer technology is the driving force behind OpenBSD, an open source, multi-platform operating system which has existed for more than ten years. In the world of the Internet, which spins at a breakneck speed, it is rare for open source projects to last a few months, let alone a decade. By continuing to thrive over the course of many years, OpenBSD has proven itself to be a valuable asset to Internet service providers, commercial users, individuals, universities, and government organizations.
One of OpenBSD’s most noteworthy characteristics is its ironclad security system. It automatically utilizes multiple security measures most operating systems leave up to the user to activate, and also practices regular and thorough file-by-file analysis of each software component by its specially designated security team.
Besides being immensely secure, OpenBSD is also portable (meaning that it’s compatible with a variety of hardware), user-friendly (it supports many of the most portable Web browsers and multimedia programs), customizable (its servers can be quickly configured to function as mail servers, Web servers, firewalls, routers, and more), and highly useful for businesses (it has been set up on the firewalls, servers, and desktops of some of the most affluent companies in the country).
If you plan on using OpenBSD to enhance your hosting reseller service or to build your website, check with your Web hosting provider to confirm they offer hosting plans on servers with the OpenBSD operating system.
