Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting very popular too. The main reason is that the OS is really light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a safe and dependable software environment on your server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any problem or have any question, you will discover a number of resources on the Internet. One of the key advantages of this OS is that it contains a large number of software packages which can be freely modified in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the applications that you need to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with our Linux VPS hosting service and you can buy a VPS running it in just one hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so you are able to choose the one that you need if the software that you wish to run on the web hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have an online interface and all of the required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but this type of setup is more suitable for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.
