Ubuntu is a widely used desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular too. The reason is that the operating system is amazingly light and it'll function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you will find a number of resources online. Among the basic advantages of this OS is the fact that it has a great number of software packages which can be easily customized in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the applications which you need to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We provide Ubuntu with all of our VPS hosting plans and based on what requirements your web apps have, you'll be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with just a few clicks during the order process. If you order your server with no hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be set up in addition to Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, so you will be able to use a console to gain access to the server and to build a software environment that you choose. When you order your server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you'll be able to manage almost everything as easily as you control a regular shared account and all the essential MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, but the root access to your server is restricted. When you don't have a lot experience, or if you don't wish to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you are able to take full advantage of the Managed Services upgrade, which features every week Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

If the apps that you need to run require Ubuntu as well as lots of resources, you can select our dedicated web hosting plans and add this OS to your order with just a single click. You will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the Operating System, according to which edition your apps need in order to work properly and to get the most of the server hardware. As you'll have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on your machine and you can install anything you would like. The Ubuntu-powered server does not include a hosting Control Panel, and you can manage your content using a Secure Shell console, yet if you would like, you can set up a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to take care of your websites.
