Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting very popular too. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is really light and it can function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. 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 will have a secure and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you will discover plenty of resources online. One of the basic advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains thousands of software packages that can be freely customized in accordance with your needs and / or the needs of the apps that you need 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 code is not accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each and every virtual private server package that we offer and everything will be set up within an hour, which means that you will be able to start using your VPS without delay. We supply two different editions because certain pieces of software have particular requirements in order to operate properly. You will be able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will receive an online interface and all the software that's required for your Internet sites will be pre-installed; while if you order it with no Control Panel, you'll receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you are able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. If you decide to include our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the registration process or at any later time, our admins will monitor your hosting server and will update Ubuntu regularly.

You are able to get Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans, as we supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Operating System. This way, you'll be able to pick the more appropriate of these two, based on the type of apps which you wish to set up and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control over the software setting. We will install only the Apache web server software, therefore you can add everything else you'll need, even if it is not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You're able to control everything through a console, but if you would like, you may also install a website hosting Control Panel, when it is compatible with Ubuntu. When you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your OS up-to-date on a weekly basis and will ensure that you have the newest software packages for a well-balanced and protected server environment.
