Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it'll function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a risk-free and stable software environment on your hosting server all of the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities in the world, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll discover plenty of resources online. Among the basic advantages of this Operating System is the fact that it includes thousands of software packages that can be freely customized in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the applications which you want to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS

When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each virtual private server package that we offer and everything will be set up within an hour, which means that you'll be able to start using your VPS right away. We provide two different versions since certain pieces of software have particular requirements so as to operate properly. You can control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive an online interface and the software that's needed for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas when you order it with no Control Panel, you'll receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you're able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. If you choose to add our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep track of your server and will upgrade Ubuntu routinely.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

We provide Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans and if you need this OS, you will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition with only a click on the order page. We supply two versions, in order to ensure that the hosting server meets the requirements of the software that you would like to set up. The full root access to the server will allow you to set up any other software, because the only pre-installed app is the Apache web server. You will be able to access the server securely from a console, however in case you prefer to use a web interface, you are free to install any kind of Control Panel that can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you wish to focus your efforts on your content and not on server maintenance tasks, you're able to add our Managed Services upgrade and we'll handle a number of tasks for you, including weekly OS upgrades.
