Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting very popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources online. Among the main advantages of this Operating System is that it includes a large number of software packages which can be easily changed in accordance with your needs and / or the needs of the apps that you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting

We provide Ubuntu with all our VPS hosting services and based on what system requirements your web apps have, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with just a couple of clicks during the order process. If you get your server without a website hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software which will be set up on top of Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to use a console in order to access the website hosting server and to set up a software environment of your liking. When you get your server with our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface with which you're able to manage almost everything as easily as you control an ordinary shared account and all of the important MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, however the root access to your server is limited.
