Ubuntu is a preferred desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting really popular too. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it can function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you will discover lots of resources online. One of the main benefits of this OS is the fact that it includes a large number of software packages that can be easily customized in accordance with your needs as well as the requirements of the apps which you want to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

If you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you will be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with each virtual private server package that we offer and everything is set up within 1 hour, therefore you are able to start using your VPS without delay. We provide two different editions since some programs have certain requirements in order to function effectively. You're able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface and the software that is required for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it with no Control Panel, you will receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you will be able to set up additional software using Secure Shell. When you decide to add our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep an eye on your server and will update Ubuntu regularly.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting

Ubuntu is one of the Operating System options which you'll find on our order page when you choose to get one of our dedicated hosting services. We can set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to meet the system requirements of the apps which you need to set up on the server. You can also select the software which will run on your machine, due to the fact that we will set up only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be custom-made software of your choice. You'll be able to install the latter without problems employing a Secure Shell console, because you will have root-level access and you will have full control of your hosting server. You are free to install a web hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains Operating System updates.
