Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting really popular as well. The reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it can run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a safe and stable software environment on your hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources on the Internet. Among the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features numerous software packages which can be easily modified according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at any time. 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

We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS hosting plans and based on what requirements your web applications have, you are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with just a few clicks throughout the registration process. If you obtain your server without a web hosting Control Panel, the sole software which will be installed along with Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, which means that you can use a console to gain access to the website hosting server and to set up a software environment that you choose. When you get your server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have a world wide web interface with which you can manage almost everything just as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all of the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software are pre-installed, yet the root access to your server is limited. If you do not have a lot of experience, or if you don't want to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you are able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, that features every week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to acquire Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans, since we offer 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this Operating System. This way, you will be able to choose the more appropriate of these two, based on the type of applications that you'd like to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You will have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control of the software setting. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, so you can add whatever else you need, even when it is not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You are able to manage everything from a console, but if you want, you may also install a web hosting Control Panel, when it's compatible with Ubuntu. When you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date every week and will ensure that you have the most up-to-date software packages for a stable and risk-free server environment.
