Ubuntu is among the most popular Linux releases for desktop computers, but the OS also has a server version, which has been gaining in popularity these days. Ubuntu is very quick and supports a wide range of hardware components, so it can run on virtually any server not using a lot of resources. The Operating System is widely known as really dependable and secure, plus as a result of its popularity, you'll find lots of sources online with information about any question or problem that you might have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, so you are able to get security patches without having to worry about softwaretroubles in the long term. As Ubuntu is absolutely free to use, you are able to modify both its core and the thousands of additional software packages which you can download and install in any way you find fit, without any restrictions and without paying any license fees. This way, you can receive a quick, dependable and powerful website hosting service and pay just the cost of the server.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with all of our Linux VPS web hosting plans and you can buy a VPS running it in less than one hour. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are available, so you're able to choose the one that you need when the software that you want to run on the website hosting server has specific system requirements regarding this. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you'll be able to set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have a web interface and all the needed web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etcetera. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but such a installation is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so throughout the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our order page if you want to acquire one of our dedicated servers. We will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, in order to match the system requirements of the apps which you'd like to install on the server. You can also choose the software which will operate on your machine, as we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be custom-made software that you choose. You will be able to set up the latter without problems from a Secure Shell console, because you'll get root-level access and you will get full control over the server. You can install a website hosting Control Panel as well and control some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, features Operating System updates.
