Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is very light and it'll run on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your web hosting server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will find lots of resources online. One of the major advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains thousands of software packages which can be easily modified in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications which you need to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We supply Ubuntu with all of our VPS hosting plans and depending on what system requirements your web applications have, you are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with only a couple of mouse clicks throughout the order process. When you order your server with no web hosting Control Panel, the only software that will be installed along with Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, thus you will be able to use a console in order to access the server and to create a software environment of your choice. If you order your server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you will be able to manage almost everything as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all of the vital MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software are pre-installed, however the root access to your server will be limited. If you don't have much experience, or if you don't like to waste time on VPS control procedures, you'll be able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is one of the OS options that you can find on our registration page if you choose to get one of our Linux dedicated servers. We will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to satisfy the system requirements of the apps that you want to install on the server. You can also select the software that will operate on your machine, because we will install only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be tailor-made software that you choose. You can set up the latter without problems by using a Secure Shell console, because you'll have root-level access and you'll have full control over your hosting server. You can set up a hosting Control Panel as well and control some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can work on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler for you, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, contains OS upgrades.
