Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular too. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it can run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you'll find numerous resources on the net. Among the key benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it contains tens of thousands of software packages that can be easily adjusted in accordance with your needs and / or the needs of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code is not accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

Ubuntu is available with all of our Linux VPS web hosting packages and you can acquire a VPS running it in just 60 minutes. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so you are able to pick the one that you need if the software that you wish to run on your server has particular system requirements regarding this. You can also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you will be able to install anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you will have an online interface and all 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 setup is more suitable for users with less experience. We will also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis if you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this throughout the VPS order process or at any later time using your billing Control Panel.
