Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is extremely light and it will run on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you will have a protected and stable software environment on your server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any issue or have any kind of question, you'll discover lots of resources on the net. One of the main advantages of this OS is the fact that it features numerous software packages that can be freely modified in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the applications that 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, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS

With all of our Linux VPS, you're able to select the Ubuntu OS from the order page. We are aware of the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements with regard to the Operating System they're set up on, which means that you're able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. Also, you can choose if the VPS should come with our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll get everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to do everything via your online browser, but the root access is limited; while in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu as well as the Apache server software only, so you're able to install anything freely thanks to the full root access which you'll be given, yet the server management tasks can be done from a console. Our administrators can keep track of your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis if you add the optional Managed Services bundle which we offer.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

We supply Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans and if you need this OS, you will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition with only a click on the order page. We supply two editions, so as to make sure that the server will match the system requirements of the software that you'd like to install. The full root admission to the server will allow you to set up various other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed application is the Apache web server. You're able to access the server safely through a console, however in case you would like to use a web interface, you're free to install any kind of Control Panel which can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you need to focus your efforts on the content and not on server management tasks, you're able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we will take care of a number of tasks for you, among them once a week Operating System upgrades.
