Ubuntu is among the most preferred Linux editions for desktop computers, however the Operating System also has a server edition, which has been gaining popularity lately. Ubuntu is extremely fast and supports a number of hardware components, so it can work on virtually any kind of server not consuming an excessive amount of resources. The OS is considered to be really reliable and secure, not to mention that because of its popularity, you'll find many different sources online with information about any question or problem that you may have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, so you're able to get security patches without worrying about softwareissues in the long term. Since Ubuntu is totally free to use, you are able to modify both its core as well as the thousands of additional software packages that you can download and set up in any way you find fit, with no limitations and without any license fees. This way, you can receive a fast, stable and powerful website hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

We provide Ubuntu with all our VPS servers and depending on what requirements your web apps have, you'll be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with just a couple of clicks throughout the registration process. When you obtain your server without a website hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software that will be installed in addition to Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, thus you can use a console to access the server and to create a software environment of your choice. If you obtain your server with our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you are able to control almost everything as easily as you control a standard shared account and all of the necessary MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, yet the root access to the server is restricted. When you don't have much experience, or if you don't plan to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you are able to take advantage of the Managed Services upgrade, that features once a week Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

When the applications that you wish to run require Ubuntu and lots of resources, you can opt for our Linux dedicated web hosting plans and add this OS to your order with a click. You can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of your OS, based on which release your applications need in order to work properly and to get the most of your server hardware. Due to the fact that you will have full root access, you'll have full control over the software environment on the machine and you can set up anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server doesn't contain a website hosting Control Panel, therefore you can manage your content from a Secure Shell console, yet if you'd like, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to manage your sites. If you don't want to lose time supervising your server, you can take full advantage of our Managed Services package, which includes many tasks performed by our sysadmins on your behalf. The package comes with routine updates of your Ubuntu OS as well.
