Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting pretty popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is really light and it will function on almost any hardware without any 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 a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you will discover lots of resources on the net. One of the main benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it comes with tens of thousands of software packages which can be freely changed according to your needs as well as the requirements of the apps which you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS

Ubuntu is available with our Linux VPS packages and you can obtain a VPS running it in just sixty minutes. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so you'll be able to choose the one that you need if the software that you would like to run on your hosting server has specific system requirements regarding this. You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up without a Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you can set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you will have a world wide web interface and all required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but this type of setup is more efficient for users with less experience. We will also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis if you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

You can acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server packages, considering that we supply 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this OS. This way, you will be able to choose the more appropriate of them, depending on the type of apps that you would like to set up and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which gives you full control of the software environment. We will set up only the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to add anything else you need, even when it's not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You can manage everything using a console, but if you want, you can also install a hosting Control Panel, when it supports Ubuntu. If you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your OS up-to-date weekly and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a reliable and risk-free server environment.
