Ubuntu is a preferred desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting really popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it will function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you will have a protected and dependable software environment on your hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities in the world, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you will discover a number of resources on the net. One of the main benefits of this OS is that it includes a large number of software packages which can be easily customized in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the applications that you want to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Servers
If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you will be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we provide and everything is set up within one hour, which means that you're able to start using the VPS without delay. We provide two different editions because certain pieces of software have specific requirements so as to operate efficiently. You're able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface and the software that is necessary for your web sites will be pre-installed; while when you order it with no Control Panel, you will get only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you are able to set up additional software using Secure Shell. When you decide to add our Managed Services upgrade either throughout the signup process or at any later time, our admins will keep an eye on your server and will upgrade Ubuntu routinely.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
When the apps that you would like to run require Ubuntu as well as plenty of resources, you can select our dedicated service and add this Operating System to your order with just a single click. You are able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of your OS, based on which release your applications need in order to work properly and to get the most of your server hardware. As you will have full root access, you'll have full control over the software environment on the machine and you'll be able to install anything you would like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't include a website hosting Control Panel, which means that you can manage your content using a Secure Shell console, however if you want, you can set up a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to control your websites. In case you don't want to lose time taking care of your server, you can use the Managed Services package, that features lots of tasks done by our admins on your behalf. The upgrade includes regular updates of your Ubuntu OS as well.
