Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities globally, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you'll discover plenty of resources online. One of the key benefits of this OS is that it comes with tens of thousands of software packages that can be easily adjusted according to your needs and the needs of the apps that you'd like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
Ubuntu is one of the OS options which you'll find on our registration page in case you decide to get one of our Linux dedicated hosting. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition, so as to match the system requirements of the apps which you wish to set up on the server. You can also select the software which will run on your machine, since we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be customized software of your liking. You're able to install the latter without any problems using a Secure Shell console, because you will have root-level access and you will get full control over the server. You are free to set up a hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can work on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, contains Operating System upgrades.
