Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting very popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is very light and it'll function on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a risk-free and stable software environment on your server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you will discover a number of resources online. One of the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features thousands of software packages which can be easily modified according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps that you want to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any 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 Servers

We provide Ubuntu with our Linux VPS servers and depending on what system requirements your web apps have, you'll be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with only a few mouse clicks throughout the registration process. If you get your server without a web hosting Control Panel, the only software that will be installed in addition to Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, thus you'll be able to use a console in order to access the server and to install a software environment that you choose. When you acquire your server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you're able to manage almost everything as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server is limited. When you don't have much experience, or in case you do not like to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you are able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which includes every week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

If the apps that you would like to run require Ubuntu and a lot of system resources, you can choose one of our dedicated servers and add this OS to your order with a click. You'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS, based on which release your apps need in order to work properly and to get the most of the server hardware. Since you will have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on your machine and you can set up anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't include a web hosting Control Panel, so you can manage your content using a Secure Shell console, but if you'd like, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to control your sites. In case you don't want to lose time maintaining your hosting server, you can employ our Managed Services package, that includes plenty of tasks done by our sysadmins on your behalf. The upgrade comes with routine updates of your Ubuntu Operating System as well.
