Ubuntu is a widely used desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting really popular too. The main reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it will function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your website hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities in the world, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you will find lots of resources on the Internet. One of the basic advantages of this OS is the fact that it has a large number of software packages that can be easily customized in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the applications which you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at all. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Servers
Ubuntu is available with our VPS servers and you can buy a VPS running it in just 1 hour. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are available, which means that you can pick the one which you need when the software that you wish to run on your web hosting server has particular system requirements in this regard. You may also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you will have a world wide web interface and all needed web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etcetera. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of setup is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

This way, you are able to select the more appropriate of them, depending on the type of apps that you wish to install and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You will have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software environment. We'll install just the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to add anything else you'll need, even if it is not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You are able to manage everything from a console, but if you want, you can also set up a web hosting Control Panel, when it is compatible with Ubuntu. When you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date weekly and will ensure that you have the most recent software packages for a reliable and protected server environment.
