Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting pretty popular too. The reason is that the operating system is really light and it'll function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your website hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you will find a number of resources on the net. One of the key advantages of this OS is the fact that it includes a large number of software packages which can be easily changed in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the applications that you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code is not accessible, thus it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with each and every virtual private server package that we supply and everything will be set up within 60 minutes, so you will be able to start using the VPS right away. We provide two separate editions because some programs have particular requirements to work properly. You are able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface and the software that's needed for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it with no Control Panel, you'll get only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you can install additional software using Secure Shell. If you choose to include our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the signup process or at any later time, our administrators will monitor your hosting server and will upgrade Ubuntu routinely.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting
We supply Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition with only a click on the registration page. We supply two versions, to guarantee that the hosting server meets the requirements of the software that you want to install. The full root admission to the server will allow you to set up any other software, as the only pre-installed app will be the Apache web server. You will be able to access the server securely from a console, yet in case you like better to use an online interface, you're free to install any Control Panel that can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you wish to focus your efforts on the content and not on server management tasks, you will be able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we'll take care of numerous tasks for you, among them once a week OS updates.
