Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting really popular too. The main reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it will function on almost any hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a secure and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will find a number of resources on the web. One of the main advantages of this Operating System is that it has thousands of software packages that can be freely modified in accordance with your needs as well as the needs of the apps that you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is one of the OS options that you'll find on our order page in case you want to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, in order to satisfy the system requirements of the apps which you would like to set up on the server. You may also select the software that will run on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be customized software that you choose. You'll be able to set up the latter without problems employing a Secure Shell console, since you'll receive root-level access and you will get full control over your server. You are free to install a website hosting Control Panel too and manage some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can work on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, comes with OS updates.
