Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting really popular too. The main reason is that the OS is extremely light and it'll function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and stable software environment on your server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, which means that if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources on the Internet. One of the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains a large number of software packages which can be freely customized according to your needs and / or the requirements of the applications that you intend 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 program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

We supply Ubuntu with all of our Linux VPS hosting packages and depending on what requirements your web apps have, you can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with just a couple of clicks during the registration process. If you order your server with no hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be installed on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, so you'll be able to use a console to gain access to the hosting server and to set up a software environment of your liking. When you get your server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface with which you'll be able to control almost everything as quickly as you manage an ordinary shared account and all important MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, however the root access to the server will be limited. When you don't have a lot experience, or in case you don't plan to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you will be able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to get Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans, as we supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this OS. In this way, you're able to choose the more appropriate of these two, depending on the type of apps which you would like to install and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the Operating System. You will have root-level access to the server, which provides you with full control of the software setting. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, so you can add whatever else you need, even when it is not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You will be able to manage everything through a console, but if you want, you can also set up a hosting Control Panel, on condition that it's compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we'll keep your Operating System up-to-date weekly and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a well-balanced and secure server environment.
