Ubuntu is among the most widely used Linux releases for desktop machines, but the Operating System also has a server release, which has been gaining popularity recently. Ubuntu is very fast and supports a wide range of hardware components, so it can work on pretty much any kind of server without consuming too much system resources. The Operating System is widely known as really reliable and secure, not to mention that due to its popularity, you will find various sources online with info about any question or problem that you may have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, so you are able to get security patches without worrying about softwareproblems in the long term. Because Ubuntu is totally free to use, you're able to customize both its core as well as the thousands of additional software packages that you can download and set up in any way you see fit, without any restrictions and without having to pay any license fees. This way, you can acquire an effective, stable and powerful hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.

Ubuntu in VPS

We provide Ubuntu with our Linux VPS and based on what system requirements your web applications have, you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with just a few clicks during the order process. When you order your server without a web hosting Control Panel, the only piece of software which will be installed on top of Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, thus you are able to use a console to access the website hosting server and to build a software environment of your choice. When you obtain your server with our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have a world wide web interface with which you'll be able to control almost everything as easily as you control a standard shared account and all necessary MySQL, FTP and email server software will be pre-installed, however the root access to your server will be limited. If you do not have a lot experience, or if you do not wish to waste time on VPS management procedures, you can take full advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which features weekly Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options that you will find on our registration page in case you want to get one of our dedicated hosting. We'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to match the system requirements of the apps which you intend to install on the server. You may also select the software that will operate on your machine, as we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom software of your choice. You'll be able to set up the latter without problems by using a Secure Shell console, since you will have root-level access and you'll get full control of the hosting server. You are free to set up a website hosting Control Panel as well and control 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, that, among other things, contains OS upgrades.
