Ubuntu is among the most popular Linux releases for desktop machines, but the Operating System also has a server version, which has been gaining popularity lately. Ubuntu is very quick and supports numerous hardware components, so it can function on virtually every server not using an excessive amount of system resources. The Operating System is widely known as really reliable and secure, not to mention that due to its popularity, you will find lots of 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 softwareproblems over time. As Ubuntu is absolutely free to use, you can modify both its core and the thousands of additional software packages which you can download and set up in any way you see fit, with no restrictions and without paying any license fees. In this way, you'll receive a rapid, stable and powerful hosting service and pay just the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting
With any of our Linux VPS web hosting services, you'll be able to pick the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We're aware of the fact that some programs have particular requirements in terms of the OS they are set up on, which means that you can choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. You can also select whether the VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will receive everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to do everything by using your Internet browser, however the root access will be restricted; whereas in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, which means that you will be able to install anything freely thanks to the full root access that you'll be given, however the server management tasks can be performed through a console. Our system administrators will monitor your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis when you add the additional Managed Services package that we offer.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our registration page if you want to get one of our dedicated hosting services. We'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to meet the system requirements of the apps which you want to set up on the server. You may also choose the software which will run on your machine, as we will set up only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be custom software of your choice. You're able to set up the latter without any problems through a Secure Shell console, as you will get root-level access and you will have full control over the server. You are free to install a website hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler for you, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains OS updates.
