Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is extremely light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will discover numerous resources on the net. Among the basic benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it comes with thousands of software packages that can be freely customized 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 kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We supply Ubuntu with all our VPS servers and depending on what requirements your web apps have, you are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with just a few mouse clicks during the order process. When you order your server without a hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be set up on top of Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, so you're able to use a console to access the server and to create a software environment of your liking. When you obtain your server with our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you're able to control almost everything as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all necessary MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to your server is limited. In case you don't have a lot experience, or in case you do not plan to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you're able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which features regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server packages, as we offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this OS. Thus, you'll be able to choose the more appropriate of the two, based on the type of apps that you wish to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which gives you full control over the software environment. We will set up just the Apache web server software, which means that you can add everything else you need, even if it is not related directly to web sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You are able to control everything through a console, but if you want, you can also set up a hosting Control Panel, when it's compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will maintain your OS up-to-date on a weekly basis and will make sure that you have the most recent software packages for a stable and secure server environment.
