Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting pretty popular too. The main reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it will run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a protected and dependable software environment on your hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any issue or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources on the net. One of the basic advantages of this OS is the fact that it features a large number of software packages which can be easily customized according to your needs as well as the needs of the applications which you need to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS

We provide Ubuntu with our Linux VPS and based on what system requirements your web apps have, you will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with just a few clicks during the registration process. When you get your server with no hosting Control Panel, the sole piece of software which will be installed on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you will be able to use a console to gain access to the hosting server and to install a software environment of your liking. When you obtain your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface with which you can control almost everything just as easily as you control a standard shared account and all important MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, but the root access to your server is limited. If you do not have a lot experience, or if you don't want to waste time on VPS management procedures, you will be able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, that features every week Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

Ubuntu is one of the OS options which you will find on our order page if you decide to get one of our Linux dedicated hosting. We'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, so as to meet the system requirements of the applications which you need to set up on the server. You can also select the software that will run on your machine, since we will set up only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be customized software of your choice. You're able to set up the latter without problems using a Secure Shell console, because you will have root-level access and you'll have full control of the hosting server. You can set up a hosting Control Panel too and control some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, includes OS updates.
