Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting pretty popular too. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is really light and it'll run on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you will have a risk-free and stable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any problem or have any question, you'll find plenty of resources on the net. One of the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it features a great number of software packages which can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications that you'd 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, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you are able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer and everything is set up within one hour, so you'll be able to start using the VPS right away. We supply two different versions since some programs have certain requirements in order to function properly. You're able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and all the software which is necessary for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas in case you order it devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive just the OS and the Apache web server software, so that you're able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. If you decide to add our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep track of your hosting server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can acquire Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans, since we supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this OS. This way, you will be able to pick the more appropriate of these two, based on the type of apps which you need to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the Operating System. You will have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control of the software setting. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to add whatever else you will need, even if it is not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You will be able to manage everything from a console, but if you would like, you can also install a web hosting Control Panel, when it supports Ubuntu. In case you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll keep your Operating System up-to-date on a weekly basis and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a well-balanced and risk-free server environment.
