Ubuntu is a preferred desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting really popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is amazingly light and it will function on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will discover lots of resources online. Among the main benefits of this OS is the fact that it comes with a great number of software packages which can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the requirements of the applications which you need to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

With any of our VPS web hosting plans, you're able to decide on the Ubuntu Operating System from the order page. We're aware of the fact that some programs have certain requirements with regard to the OS they're installed on, which means that you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. In addition, you can choose whether the VPS should feature our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will have everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you're able to do everything by using your web browser, but the root access will be limited; while in the second case, you will get Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, so you will be able to install anything freely because of the full root access that you will be given, yet the server management tasks are done through a console. Our system administrators can watch your VPS and update the Ubuntu setup weekly when you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

If the apps that you wish to run require Ubuntu and lots of resources, you can choose one of our dedicated web hosting plans and add this OS to your order with a click. You will be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the Operating System, depending on which release your applications need in order to function properly and to get the most of your server hardware. Due to the fact that you'll have full root access, you'll have full control over the software environment on your machine and you can install anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't contain a web hosting Control Panel, which means that you can manage your content through a Secure Shell console, however if you want, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to take care of your web sites. When you do not want to lose time controlling your hosting server, you can take advantage of our Managed Services package, that includes numerous tasks done by our admins on your behalf. The package includes regular updates of your Ubuntu Operating System as well.
