Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting really popular too. The reason is that the OS is very light and it can run on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you will have a protected and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll find plenty of resources on the Internet. Among the basic benefits of this Operating System is that it comes with tens of thousands of software packages that can be freely changed according to your needs and the requirements of the apps which you intend 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 program code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with our Linux VPS web hosting plans and you can acquire a VPS running it in just 1 hour. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are available, which means that you can choose the one that you need if the software that you wish to run on the server has specific system requirements in this regard. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you can install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have a world wide web interface and all required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but this type of setup is more effective for users with less experience. We will also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis when you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so throughout the VPS order process or at any later time from your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our registration page in case you choose to obtain one of our dedicated servers. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition, so as to match the system requirements of the applications which you'd like to set up on the server. You can also choose the software that will run on your machine, as 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 from a Secure Shell console, since you'll have root-level access and you will get full control of your server. You can install a hosting Control Panel too and manage some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can work on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with OS updates.
