Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll discover lots of resources on the Internet. Among the major benefits of this Operating System is that it contains a large number of software packages which can be easily changed in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the apps 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 Servers

With all of our VPS plans, you will be able to choose the Ubuntu OS from the order page. We recognize the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements with regard to the OS they are set up on, so you are able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. You can also select if your VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will have everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you will be able to do everything through your online browser, yet the root access will be restricted; whereas in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu as well as the Apache server software only, which means that you'll be able to install anything freely because of the full root access that you will be given, but the server management tasks will be done through a console. Our system administrators will watch your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu setup on a weekly basis when you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You are able to obtain Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, since we supply 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this Operating System. This way, you will be able to pick the more appropriate of the two, based on the type of applications that you'd like to install and run and on the system requirements they have about the Operating System. You will have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control over the software setting. We will set up just the Apache web server software, so you're able to add whatever else you will need, even when it's not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You'll be able to control everything from a console, however if you would like, you can also set up a web hosting Control Panel, when it supports Ubuntu. In case you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we will maintain your Operating System up-to-date every week and will ensure that you have the newest software packages for a reliable and risk-free server environment.
