Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting very popular as well. The reason is the fact that the operating system is amazingly light and it'll function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you'll discover numerous resources on the Internet. One of the basic benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features numerous software packages that can be easily customized according to your needs as well as the requirements of the applications 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 Operating Systems are paid and their code isn't accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
Ubuntu is one of the OS options which you'll find on our registration page in case you choose to obtain one of our dedicated servers. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, so as to match the system requirements of the applications that you'd like to install on the server. You can also choose the software which will operate on your machine, as we will install only the Apache web server software, so all else can be tailor-made software of your liking. You'll be able to install the latter without problems employing a Secure Shell console, because you'll get root-level access and you will get full control over the hosting server. You are free to install a web 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 easier, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, comes with Operating System updates.
