Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular too. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any issue or have any question, you will discover plenty of resources on the web. Among the basic benefits of this Operating System is that it has a large number of software packages which can be easily customized according to your needs as well as the requirements of the applications that you would like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We offer Ubuntu with our Linux VPS servers and depending on what system requirements your web applications have, you are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with only a few mouse clicks throughout the order process. When you get your server with no web hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software which will be installed along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you are able to use a console to access the server and to install a software environment of your liking. When you order your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you will be able to control almost everything as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all of the important MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, however the root access to the server is restricted. In case you don't have a lot experience, or if you do not plan to waste time on VPS control procedures, you are able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, that features regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You're able to get Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, considering that we provide 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this OS. In this way, you will be able to choose the more appropriate of the two, depending on the type of apps which 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 provide you with full control of the software environment. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, so you are able to add anything else you may need, even if it is not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You will be able to manage everything through a console, however if you want, you may also set up a hosting Control Panel, provided that it's compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date every week and will ensure that you have the latest software packages for a stable and protected server environment.
