Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting pretty popular too. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it'll run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you will have a protected and stable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any kind of question, you'll find a number of resources on the Internet. Among the key advantages of this Operating System is the fact that it includes a great number of software packages which can be easily customized according to your needs as well as the requirements of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at all. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

When you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we provide and everything will be set up within 60 minutes, so you will be able to start using your VPS without delay. We provide two separate versions because some programs have particular requirements in order to operate properly. You are able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will get a world wide web interface and the software that's required for your Internet sites will be pre-installed; whereas in case you order it without any Control Panel, you'll receive only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, which means that you'll be able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. When you choose to add our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the signup process or at any later time, our administrators will keep an eye on your hosting server and will upgrade Ubuntu routinely.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

When the applications that you need to run require Ubuntu as well as lots of system resources, you can choose our dedicated hosting services and add this OS to your order with a click. You'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the Operating System, based on which release your apps need in order to work properly and to get the most of the server hardware. Due to the fact that you'll have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on the machine and you'll be able to install anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server does not include a web hosting Control Panel, which means that you can manage your content from a Secure Shell console, however if you want, you can set up a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to take care of your web sites. If you don't want to lose time managing the web hosting server, you can take full advantage of the Managed Services package, which includes lots of tasks done by our sysadmins on your behalf. The package comes with routine updates of your Ubuntu Operating System as well.
