Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting quite popular too. The reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it can function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you will have a secure and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll find a number of resources on the net. Among the basic benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features a great number of software packages which can be easily changed according to your needs as well as the requirements of the applications which you wish to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you're able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with each VPS server package that we supply and everything is set up within 60 minutes, which means that you're able to start using the VPS without delay. We supply two separate versions since certain pieces of software have certain requirements to operate effectively. You'll be able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface and the software that's required for your sites will be pre-installed; whereas when you order it without any Control Panel, you will get just the OS and the Apache web server software, so you are able to set up additional software through Secure Shell. If you decide to add our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our admins will keep track of your server and will update Ubuntu on a regular basis.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You are able to obtain Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server packages, as we supply 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this OS. In this way, you will be able to select the more appropriate of them, depending on the type of applications which you want to set up and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which provides you with full control of the software environment. We will set up just the Apache web server software, so you are able to add anything else you'll need, even when it's not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You can control everything from a console, yet if you would like, you can also install a web hosting Control Panel, on condition that it's compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your Operating System up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the newest software packages for a stable and secure server environment.
