Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is very light and it will function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a safe and stable software environment on your website hosting server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll discover plenty of resources on the Internet. Among the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it includes tens of thousands of software packages that can be freely modified in accordance with your needs and / or the needs of the apps which you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

If you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we provide and everything is set up within one hour, which means that you can start using your VPS without delay. We supply two separate versions because certain programs have particular requirements so as to operate properly. You're able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our custom-made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and the software which is necessary for your Internet sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it with no Control Panel, you'll get just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you will be able to install additional software using Secure Shell. When you choose to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our admins will keep close track of your server and will upgrade Ubuntu regularly.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

We offer Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans and if you need this OS, you are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition with only a click on the order page. We provide two editions, in order to guarantee that the hosting server meets the system requirements of the software that you need to install. The full root access to your server will enable you to install various other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed application is the Apache web server. You will be able to access the server securely using a console, but in case you would like to use a world wide web interface, you're free to set up any kind of Control Panel which can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you'd like to focus your efforts on your content and not on server maintenance tasks, you'll be able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we will take care of a number of tasks for you, which includes weekly OS upgrades.
