Ubuntu is among the most widespread Linux distributions for personal computers, however the OS also has a server edition, that has been gaining in popularity these days. Ubuntu is very quick and supports a number of hardware components, so it can work on pretty much any kind of computer without using a lot of resources. The Operating System is regarded as being very reliable and secure, not to mention that due to its popularity, you will find a number of sources online with info about any question or problem that you might have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, so you will be able to get security patches without worrying about softwaretroubles over time. Due to the fact that Ubuntu is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both its core and the thousands of additional software packages which you can download and install in any way you find fit, without any restrictions and without any license fees. This way, you can receive a quick, stable and powerful hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in VPS
We offer Ubuntu with all of our Linux VPS packages and based on what requirements your web applications have, you are able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with only a couple of mouse clicks during the registration process. If you obtain your server without a hosting Control Panel, the sole software which will be set up on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, which means that you will be able to use a console to access the website hosting server and to create a software environment of your liking. When you obtain your server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have a world wide web interface with which you will be able to control almost everything as quickly as you control an ordinary shared account and all the vital MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, but the root access to your server will be limited. In case you don't have much experience, or in case you don't wish to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you can reap the benefits of the Managed Services upgrade, that includes regular Ubuntu Operating System updates.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
When the apps that you wish to run require Ubuntu and plenty of resources, you should choose our Linux dedicated hosting and add this OS to your order with just a single click. You're able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of your OS, depending on which release your apps need in order to function properly and to get the most of the server hardware. Due to the fact that you'll have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on your machine and you can install anything you would like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't contain a hosting Control Panel, so you can manage your content from a Secure Shell console, however if you would like, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to command your websites. In case you don't want to lose time maintaining your hosting server, you can take full advantage of our Managed Services package, that features plenty of tasks performed by our system administrators on your behalf. The upgrade comes with routine updates of your Ubuntu OS as well.
