Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting very popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it can run on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities around the world, which means that if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you'll find a number of resources on the Internet. One of the key advantages of this Operating System is that it contains numerous software packages that can be freely adjusted according to your needs and / or the needs of the apps which you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Servers
When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with each and every VPS server plan that we supply and everything will be set up within one hour, so you'll be able to start using the VPS right away. We supply two separate versions since some pieces of software have particular requirements to function efficiently. You're able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and all the software which is required for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it with no Control Panel, you'll get just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you'll be able to set up additional software through Secure Shell. If you choose to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our admins will keep close track of your server and will update Ubuntu on a regular basis.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
Ubuntu is one of the Operating System options which you will find on our order page when you want to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to match the system requirements of the applications which you would like to install on the server. You can also select the software which will operate on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be tailor-made software that you choose. You will be able to set up the latter without any problems by using a Secure Shell console, as you will have root-level access and you will have full control over your hosting server. You are free to install a web hosting Control Panel too and control some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier for you, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains Operating System upgrades.
