Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting very popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is very light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a protected and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities in the world, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you'll discover lots of resources on the net. Among the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it has numerous software packages that can be easily customized according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications that you would like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

With any of our Linux VPS hosting packages, you'll be able to select the Ubuntu OS from the order page. We recognize the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements in terms of the Operating System they are set up on, which means that you can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. You can also choose if the VPS should come with our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will get everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to make everything by using your Internet browser, however the root access will be restricted; while in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, which means that you are able to set up anything freely due to the full root access which you will be given, yet the server management tasks are performed from a console. Our admins can monitor your VPS and update the Ubuntu setup weekly if you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our order page if you decide to get one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, so as to meet the system requirements of the applications which you would like to install on the server. You may also select the software which will operate on your machine, since we will set up only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom software of your liking.
