Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is extremely light and it can run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you'll find lots of resources on the web. Among the key advantages of this Operating System is that it contains a large number of software packages which can be easily customized in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications that you would like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

We supply Ubuntu with all our Linux VPS web hosting and based on what system requirements your web applications have, you are able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with only a few clicks throughout the registration process. When you get your server without a web hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be installed on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, so you'll be able to use a console in order to access the website hosting server and to build a software environment of your choice. If you acquire your server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a world wide web interface with which you can control almost everything as easily as you control a standard shared account and all required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server will be restricted. If you don't have much experience, or in case you do not wish to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you will be able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You'll be able to get Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans, as we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this OS. In this way, you're able to choose the more appropriate of them, based on the type of apps that you would like to install and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You will have root-level access to the server, which gives you full control over the software environment. We will install just the Apache web server software, therefore you're able to add anything else you need, even when it's not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You will be able to control everything from a console, but if you would like, you can also install a web hosting Control Panel, provided that it is compatible with Ubuntu. When you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your OS up-to-date on a weekly basis and will make sure that you have the most recent software packages for a well-balanced and safe server environment.
