Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting really popular too. The reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you will find a number of resources on the net. One of the major advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains a great number of software packages which can be freely adjusted according to your needs and the needs of the applications that you need to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting
We provide Ubuntu with all of our VPS web hosting services and based on what system requirements your web apps have, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with just a couple of mouse clicks throughout the order process. If you order your server without a website hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software that will be set up on top of Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, which means that you can use a console in order to access the website hosting server and to set up a software environment of your choice. When you order your server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have a world wide web interface with which you are able to manage almost everything just as easily as you control a regular 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. If you don't have a lot of experience, or if you do not want to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you'll be able to reap the benefits of the Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly Ubuntu Operating System updates.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If the apps that you need to run require Ubuntu and a lot of resources, you can select one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and add this Operating System to your order with a single click. You're able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of the OS, according to which release your apps need in order to function properly and to get the most of the server hardware. As you will have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on your machine and you'll be able to install anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't include a web hosting Control Panel, which means that you can manage your content from a Secure Shell console, yet if you'd like, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to control your sites. If you do not want to lose time managing your web hosting server, you can reap the benefits of our Managed Services package, that features many tasks performed by our admins on your behalf.
