Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The reason is the fact that the operating system is very light and it'll function on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you will have a secure and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you'll discover numerous resources online. Among the key benefits of this Operating System is that it has a large number of software packages that can be freely changed in accordance with your needs as well as the needs of the applications that you wish to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at all. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS
With all of our Linux VPS, you'll be able to select the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some pieces of software have certain requirements with regard to the Operating System they're set up on, which means that you can select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. In addition, you can choose if the VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll receive everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you will be able to do everything from your web browser, yet the root access is limited; while in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, so that you are able to set up anything freely due to the full root access that you will be given, yet the server management tasks can be performed using a console. Our system administrators will keep track of your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis if you add the optional Managed Services package that we offer.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
Ubuntu is one of the OS options which you will find on our registration page when you choose to obtain one of our Linux dedicated hosting. We can set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to meet the system requirements of the apps which you want to install on the server. You can also choose the software which will operate on your machine, because we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be customized software of your liking. You are able to set up the latter without problems using a Secure Shell console, because you'll get root-level access and you will have full control of your server. You are free to install a web hosting Control Panel too and manage some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can work on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, features OS updates.
