Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is very light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you should have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities in the world, which means that if you experience any issue or have any kind of question, you will find lots of resources on the web. Among the basic benefits of this OS is that it includes a large number of software packages which can be freely changed in accordance with your needs as well as the needs of the apps that you wish to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS

We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS services and based on what requirements your web applications have, you're able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with only a couple of clicks during the registration process. When you get your server with no web hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be set up along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to use a console to access the hosting server and to install a software environment of your liking. If you get your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you're able to manage almost everything as easily as you manage a regular shared account and all of the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software are pre-installed, but the root access to your server will be restricted. If you do not have a lot of experience, or if you don't want to waste time on VPS control procedures, you'll be able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which features once a week Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you can find on our registration page in case you choose to acquire one of our dedicated hosting services. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to match the system requirements of the apps that you wish to install on the server. You may also select the software that will operate on your machine, since we will install only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be customized software that you choose. You will be able to set up the latter without problems from a Secure Shell console, since you'll get root-level access and you will get full control over your hosting server. You are free to install a web hosting Control Panel too and control some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with OS updates.
