Ubuntu is a preferred desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting very popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is extremely light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a safe and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. Also, 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 find lots of resources on the web. One of the key benefits of this OS is that it includes numerous software packages that can be easily modified according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you need to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with each and every VPS server package that we supply and everything will be set up within 60 minutes, so you can start using your VPS right away. We offer two separate editions since some pieces of software have particular requirements in order to work efficiently. You'll be able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will get a world wide web interface and the software that is necessary for your sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it without any Control Panel, you will receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you will be able to install other software using Secure Shell. When you choose to add our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our admins will keep an eye on your hosting server and will update Ubuntu regularly.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is one of the Operating System options that you can find on our registration page if you decide to obtain one of our Linux dedicated service. We will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to meet the system requirements of the applications which you want to set up on the server. You can also choose the software which will run on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so all else can be custom software of your liking. You'll be able to install the latter without any problems through a Secure Shell console, as you'll receive root-level access and you will have full control of the hosting server. You can install a web hosting Control Panel too and manage some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier for you, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, features Operating System updates.
