Ubuntu is a widely used desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is amazingly light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty 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 at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, which means that if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you'll find lots of resources on the Internet. Among the main benefits of this OS is the fact that it contains tens of thousands of software packages that can be freely adjusted in accordance with your needs and the needs of the apps which you need to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you'll be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer and everything will be set up within one hour, so you'll be able to start using the VPS right away. We supply two different editions because certain programs have particular requirements in order to operate properly. You'll be able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and all the software which is required for your sites will be pre-installed; while in case you order it devoid of Control Panel, you will get just the OS and the Apache web server software, so you will be able to set up additional software using Secure Shell. If you choose to include the Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our administrators will keep track of your server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting
Ubuntu is one of the OS options that you'll find on our order page if you choose to acquire one of our Linux dedicated web hosting. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to meet the system requirements of the applications that you want to install on the server. You may also select the software that will operate on your machine, because we will set up only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom-made software of your choice. You will be able to set up the latter without any problems from a Secure Shell console, as you'll get root-level access and you will have full control over your hosting server. You can install a website hosting Control Panel too and control some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with OS upgrades.
