Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting very popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is amazingly light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you will discover plenty of resources online. One of the key advantages of this Operating System is that it features a great number of software packages which can be easily customized in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you would like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS web hosting plans and depending on what system requirements your web applications have, you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with only a few mouse clicks during the order process. If you obtain your server without a hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software which will be installed in addition to Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to use a console to access the server and to build a software environment of your choice. If you obtain your server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface with which you're able to control almost everything as easily as you control a regular shared account and all of the essential MySQL, FTP and email server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server is restricted. If you do not have a lot of experience, or in case you don't wish to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you'll be able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You're able to acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, considering that we supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Operating System. Thus, you can pick the more appropriate of these two, depending on the type of apps which you need to install and run and on the system requirements they have about the Operating System. You will have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control of the software environment. We'll set up just the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to add everything else you need, even when it is not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You are able to manage everything using a console, but if you would like, you can also set up a website hosting Control Panel, provided that it is compatible with Ubuntu. If you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will maintain your Operating System up-to-date weekly and will ensure that you have the most recent software packages for a reliable and protected server environment.
