Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting quite popular as well. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it'll function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a safe and dependable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you'll find a number of resources on the Internet. One of the main benefits of this Operating System is that it has tens of thousands of software packages which can be easily modified according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps that you wish to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We supply Ubuntu with all our VPS plans and depending on what requirements your web apps have, you will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with only a few clicks during the registration process. When you get your server without a website hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software that will be installed on top of Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, therefore you can use a console to gain access to the hosting server and to build a software environment that you choose. When you get your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a world wide web interface with which you can manage almost everything as quickly as you control a regular shared account and all the required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software are pre-installed, yet the root access to the server is limited. If you don't have a lot of experience, or if you don't plan to waste time on VPS control procedures, you'll be able to take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, that includes regular Ubuntu Operating System updates.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

We supply Ubuntu with our dedicated server packages and if you need this OS, you will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with just a click on the registration page. We offer two versions, in order to guarantee that the hosting server will meet the requirements of the software that you'd like to install. The full root accessibility to the server will enable you to install various other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed app is the Apache web server. You'll be able to access the server safely from a console, yet if you prefer to use an online interface, you can install any kind of Control Panel that can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you wish to concentrate your efforts on the content and not on server maintenance tasks, you can add our Managed Services upgrade and we will take care of various tasks for you, among them regular OS upgrades.
