Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting very popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is very light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities in the world, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you will discover lots of resources on the net. Among the main benefits of this Operating System is that it has numerous software packages which can be easily modified in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the apps that you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you can get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer and everything will be set up within 1 hour, therefore you are able to start using your VPS without delay. We supply two different editions due to the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements in order to operate properly. You're able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will get a web interface and all of the software which is necessary for your websites will be pre-installed; while when you order it with no Control Panel, you will get just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you'll be able to set up other software using Secure Shell. When you choose to include our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep close track of your hosting server and will update Ubuntu on a regular basis.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

Ubuntu is one of the Operating System options that you can find on our registration page when you choose to obtain one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to satisfy the system requirements of the applications that you'd like to set up on the server. You may also select the software which will operate on your machine, because we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be tailor-made software that you choose. You are able to install the latter without any problems using a Secure Shell console, since you will receive root-level access and you will get full control over the hosting server. You can set up a hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains Operating System updates.
