Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting quite popular too. The reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities in the world, which means that if you experience any problem or have any question, you'll find plenty of resources on the net. Among the main advantages of this Operating System is the fact that it has a great number of software packages that can be freely modified according to your needs as well as the needs of the apps which you'd like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We offer Ubuntu with all of our VPS plans and depending on what system requirements your web applications have, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with only a couple of clicks during the order process. When you order your server devoid of web hosting Control Panel, the sole software which will be set up in addition to Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, thus you can use a console in order to access the server and to install a software environment of your choice. If you get your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you are able to control almost everything just as easily as you manage a standard shared account and all the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, however the root access to your server is limited. If you do not have a lot experience, or in case you don't like to waste time on VPS administration procedures, you're able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which features every week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the OS options that you will find on our registration page in case you choose to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, so as to meet the system requirements of the applications which you'd like to install on the server. You can also select the software that will run on your machine, due to the fact that we will set up only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be tailor-made software of your choice. You can set up the latter without any problems from a Secure Shell console, since you'll have root-level access and you will get full control over your hosting server. You can set up a web hosting Control Panel as well and control some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with OS upgrades.
