Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is really light and it'll function on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your 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'll find numerous resources online. Among the key benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it has a great number of software packages that can be easily adjusted according to your needs and the requirements of the apps that you want 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 code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting
Ubuntu is available with all of our Linux VPS web hosting and you can acquire a VPS running it in less than 60 minutes. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so that you're able to choose the one that you need if the software that you want to run on the website hosting server has specific system requirements regarding this. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you will have a web interface and all the needed web server, MySQL, FTP, electronic mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of installation is more suitable for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis when you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting
