Ubuntu is a popular desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting pretty popular too. The reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you'll discover a number of resources on the net. Among the basic advantages of this Operating System is the fact that it contains numerous software packages which can be freely customized in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications which you would like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at all. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS
Ubuntu is available with all our VPS and you can acquire a VPS running it in just an hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so you are able to pick the one which you need when the software that you would like to run on the web hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you can install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have a world wide web interface and all of the required web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but such a setup is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this during the VPS order process or at any later time via your billing Control Panel.
