Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is very light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a protected and stable software environment on your server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities globally, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources online. One of the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains numerous software packages which can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the requirements of the applications which you wish to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS
If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you're able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we provide and everything will be set up within 60 minutes, therefore you will be able to start using your VPS right away. We supply two separate versions due to the fact that certain programs have particular requirements to function effectively. You'll be able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll get an online interface and all of the software that's necessary for your web sites will be pre-installed; while when you order it without any Control Panel, you'll receive only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you're able to set up additional software employing Secure Shell. If you decide to add our Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our admins will keep an eye on your server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you can find on our order page when you want to get one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages. We will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to match the system requirements of the apps which you need to install on the server. You may also choose the software that will run on your machine, since we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be custom-made software that you choose. You are able to set up the latter without problems from a Secure Shell console, as you'll get root-level access and you will get full control over the hosting server. You can set up a hosting Control Panel too and manage some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with Operating System upgrades.
