Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting pretty popular too. The reason is the fact that the operating system is very light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, so if you experience any issue or have any kind of question, you'll discover plenty of resources on the net. One of the major benefits of this OS is that it has numerous software packages which can be easily adjusted in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications which you want to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS servers and depending on what requirements your web applications have, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with only a couple of clicks during the order process. If you get your server with no hosting Control Panel, the only software which will be set up along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to use a console to gain access to the hosting server and to create a software environment of your liking. When you get your server with our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface with which you're able to manage almost everything as quickly as you manage a standard shared account and all the vital MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, however the root access to the server is limited. When you don't have a lot of experience, or in case you do not plan to waste time on VPS control procedures, you can reap the benefits of the Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You are able to acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, as we supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this OS. In this way, you will be able to select the more appropriate of the two, based on the type of applications which you need to install and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the Operating System. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software environment. We'll install only the Apache web server software, which means that you can add anything else you need, even when it is not related directly to web sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You are able to control everything through a console, but if you want, you can also install a web hosting Control Panel, as long as it supports Ubuntu. When you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll keep your OS up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the most up-to-date software packages for a reliable and secure server environment.
