Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting really popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you will discover lots of resources on the net. Among the major advantages of this OS is the fact that it contains thousands of software packages that can be easily customized according to your needs and the requirements of the applications which you wish to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, thus it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We supply Ubuntu with all our VPS servers and depending on what requirements your web applications have, you can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with only a few clicks throughout the order process. If you order your server with no hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software that will be installed along with Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, so you can use a console to gain access to the server and to install a software environment of your liking. When you acquire your server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have a world wide web interface with which you will be able to manage almost everything as easily as you control a standard shared account and all of the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server will be limited. In case you don't have a lot of experience, or if you do not wish to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you'll be able to reap the benefits of our Managed Services upgrade, that includes once a week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

We provide Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with only a click on the registration page. We supply two releases, so as to ensure that the hosting server meets the system requirements of the software that you need to install. The full root accessibility to your server will allow you to set up any other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed application is the Apache web server. You're able to access the server safely using a console, yet in case you would like to use an online interface, you are free to install any Control Panel which can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you want to concentrate your efforts on your content and not on server management tasks, you'll be able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we'll handle various tasks for you, including regular Operating System upgrades.
