Ubuntu is a preferred desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting quite popular too. The reason is that the OS is really light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you will have a protected and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, which means that if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you will discover plenty of resources online. One of the basic advantages of this OS is that it includes a large number of software packages which can be freely modified according to 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 kind of license fees at all. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We offer Ubuntu with our VPS servers and depending on what system requirements your web apps have, you can pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with just a few mouse clicks throughout the registration process. When you order your server without a hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software that will be installed along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you're able to use a console to gain access to the server and to build a software environment that you choose. If you acquire your server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface with which you are able to control almost everything as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all essential MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, but the root access to your server will be restricted. In case you don't have much experience, or if you don't like to waste time on VPS management procedures, you are able to reap the benefits of the Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the OS options which you'll find on our order page if you choose to obtain one of our Linux dedicated servers. We'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition, in order to satisfy the system requirements of the apps which you wish to install on the server. You can also choose the software that will run on your machine, because we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be custom-made software of your liking. You will be able to set up the latter without any problems employing a Secure Shell console, since you will have root-level access and you will get full control over the server. You can install a web hosting Control Panel as well and control some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler for you, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, features Operating System updates.
