Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting pretty popular too. The main reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will find numerous resources on the net. One of the basic benefits of this OS is that it has tens of thousands of software packages that can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, thus it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS
We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS and based on what system requirements your web applications have, you're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with only a few mouse clicks during the registration process. When you order your server devoid of web hosting Control Panel, the only software that will be installed on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to use a console in order to access the server and to install a software environment of your liking. If you order your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface with which you will be able to control almost everything as quickly as you control a regular shared account and all of the essential MySQL, FTP and email server software will be pre-installed, however the root access to the server will be limited. If you don't have a lot experience, or if you don't like to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you are able to reap the benefits of our Managed Services upgrade, which features once a week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
We offer Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release with just a click on the order page. We offer two versions, so as to make sure that the hosting server matches the system requirements of the software that you need to install. The full root admission to the server will help you set up any other software, as the only pre-installed app is the Apache web server. You're able to access the server safely through a console, however in case you like better to use an online interface, you are free to set up any Control Panel that can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine.
