Ubuntu is a widespread desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting very popular as well. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it can run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a protected and stable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you'll find lots of resources on the web. Among the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it comes with numerous software packages which can be freely customized according to your needs and 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 any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with each virtual private server plan that we provide and everything is set up within an hour, therefore you are able to start using the VPS right away. We supply two separate editions due to the fact that some programs have certain requirements in order to function properly. You're able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will get a web interface and all of the software that is necessary for your sites will be pre-installed; while if you order it without any Control Panel, you'll get just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you are able to install additional software employing Secure Shell. If you choose to add our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will monitor your hosting server and will update Ubuntu routinely.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

Ubuntu is one of the OS options which you will find on our registration page if you decide to get one of our Linux dedicated web hosting. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to satisfy the system requirements of the apps which you intend to install on the server. You can also choose the software that will operate on your machine, since we will set up only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be custom software of your liking. You'll be able to install the latter without problems employing a Secure Shell console, since you'll receive root-level access and you will get full control of the server. You are free to install a website hosting Control Panel too and manage some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier for you, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, features OS upgrades.
