Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting really popular too. The reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you will have a secure and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you will discover numerous resources on the web. One of the key benefits of this OS is the fact that it contains numerous software packages that can be freely modified according to your needs and / or the requirements of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.
Ubuntu in VPS Servers
If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you will be able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the Operating System with each and every VPS server plan that we provide and everything is set up within 1 hour, therefore you can start using your VPS right away. We provide two separate versions due to the fact that certain programs have specific requirements so as to function effectively. You will be able to manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive a world wide web interface and all of the software that is needed for your web sites will be pre-installed; whereas when you order it devoid of Control Panel, you will receive only the OS and the Apache web server software, so that you will be able to install additional software using Secure Shell. If you choose to include our Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep close track of your server and will update Ubuntu regularly.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
We provide Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server packages and if you need this OS, you are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release with only a click on the order page. We offer two releases, so as to guarantee that the hosting server matches the system requirements of the software that you wish to install. The full root access to your server will enable you to install any other software, as the only pre-installed app will be the Apache web server. You can access the server safely from a console, but in case you like better to use a world wide web interface, you can install any kind of Control Panel which can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you wish to focus your efforts on your content and not on server maintenance tasks, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade and we'll take care of a variety of tasks for you, including regular OS upgrades.
