 * I am looking for self hosting my new blog, I have found 123 Reg.co.uk but am 
   unsure about the whole WordPress one click Instillation something about Linux?
   I have no idea what Linux server is but it says elsewhere that Worpress does 
   not work correctly on a Linux server? Do not want to reg new domain and hosting
   for it not to work – I am not technical in anyway so needs to be easy to just
   do – any advice?

 * WordPress runs fine on Linux servers. In fact, I’d daresay that most servers 
   running WordPress installations are Linux servers.
 * If you’re in doubt about a particular webhosting provider, just ask them about
   WordPress before you sign up and check out WordPress’s list of requirements (
   [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)).

 * Who says that? I wouldn’t run WordPress on anything but a Linux server.

 * [@apljdi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) — I second that. Every
   WordPress site I’ve ever built has been hosted (and continues to be hosted) on
   Linux servers.
