Ubuntu is an extremely popular OS, that employs the Linux kernel. Even though it is used primarily on PCs, its server version has been becoming more popular lately as well. Ubuntu is one of the lightest Linux distributions you can get and it supports almost any kind of hardware, which makes it a universal Operating System. It's also very stable and secure and has an no less than a 5-year support life cycle, so you'll be able to get official protection and performance updates. Unlike various other OS's, Ubuntu is distributed with no license fees and you can customize its core, or all of the thousands of packages it features, in any way you find fit. This enables you to install the ideal software environment for all your web apps regardless of their requirements. Because of the popularity of the OS, Ubuntu has vast developer and user communities, which means that you will always find numerous materials online regarding any question or problem which you may have.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with each VPS server package that we provide and everything will be set up within an hour, which means that you are able to start using your VPS right away. We provide two separate versions due to the fact that certain pieces of software have certain requirements to function properly. You can manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface and all the software that is necessary for your sites will be pre-installed; while if you order it with no Control Panel, you will receive only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you will be able to install additional software using Secure Shell. When you choose to include the Managed Services upgrade either throughout the registration process or at any later time, our admins will keep an eye on your server and will update Ubuntu routinely.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our order page when you want to acquire one of our dedicated service. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to match the system requirements of the apps that you wish to install on the server. You may also select the software that will run on your machine, as we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be tailor-made software that you choose. You're able to install the latter without any problems using a Secure Shell console, because you'll get root-level access and you'll have full control over the server. You can set up a web hosting Control Panel too and control some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains OS upgrades.
