Ubuntu is a widely used desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting very popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is very light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you will have a safe and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities in the world, which means that if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you will find numerous resources on the net. Among the main advantages of this OS is that it has a large number of software packages that can be easily modified according to your needs and the needs of the apps which you'd like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

With any of our VPS hosting packages, you'll be able to choose the Ubuntu Operating System on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some pieces of software have particular requirements with regard to the Operating System they can be set up on, which means that you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. In addition, you can choose whether the VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll get everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you will be able to do everything via your web browser, however the root access is limited; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, which means that you're able to set up anything freely due to the full root access which you will be given, however the server management tasks will be done through a console. Our system administrators can keep track of your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation weekly if you add the optional Managed Services bundle which we offer.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

We supply Ubuntu with our dedicated server packages and if you need this OS, you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition with only a click on the registration page. We provide two editions, so as to guarantee that the hosting server will meet the requirements of the software that you need to install. The full root access to your server will allow you to install any other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed app is the Apache web server. You can access the server safely from a console, but in case you would like to use a web interface, you are free to install any kind of Control Panel which can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you wish to focus your efforts on your content and not on server management tasks, you will be able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we'll take care of plenty of tasks for you, which includes regular OS upgrades.
