Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting quite popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it can run on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you will have a safe and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities around the world, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any kind of question, you'll find lots of resources on the net. Among the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it contains numerous software packages which can be freely changed according to your needs as well as the requirements of the apps which you would like 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 program code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with all our VPS hosting plans and you can buy a VPS running it in less than sixty minutes. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, which means that you can select the one which you need if the software that you wish to run on the web hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to 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 the necessary web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but such a installation is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly if you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so throughout the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You are able to obtain Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans, considering that we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this OS. In this way, you're able to choose the more appropriate of them, based on the type of applications which you would like to install and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You will have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software setting. We will set up just the Apache web server software, so you're able to add everything else you need, even if it's not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You'll be able to control everything from a console, yet if you would like, you can also set up a web hosting Control Panel, on condition that it is compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a reliable and risk-free server environment.
