Open source software is without a doubt the most progressive form of technological development. The present day internet as we know it largely is run using open systems and protocols. From the industry standard Apache server system to the widely acclaimed PHP web programming language.
Valente Online values the immense worth that open source software and systems offer the Internet’s end users, we also realise the great power and potential that these technologies hold. Hence all our web development makes exclusive use of award winning open source platforms and systems, thus allowing us to provide our end users with a compelling product that is both robust yet incredibly intuitive.

The MySQL server system is an incredibly secure database system which affords it’s end users the ease of access and comfort of privacy.
Apache: The driver of the Linux server, and responsible for the key role in the initial growth of the internet, further more it was the first server platform to surpass the 100 million website milestone. The Apache server supports a wide array of useful features, such as web file serving, file sharing, internet communications, and DNS management. The Apache server is a delightfully stable yet high performance server which flawlessly enables a smooth client/server interaction.
Linux: Is a Unix like computer operating system, founded and developed on the principles of the GNU and the open source software movement. Linux remains the world wide leading server operating system due to its formidable security features and its efficient operational properties. Originally developed by Linus Torvalds, Linux has grown into widely adopted server operating system.
