Ubuntu is among the most widely used Linux versions for personal computers, however the OS also has a server edition, that has been gaining in popularity lately. Ubuntu is really quick and supports a wide range of hardware components, so it can work on virtually any kind of server without consuming too much system resources. The OS is considered to be really reliable and secure, not to mention that as a result of its popularity, you'll find numerous sources online with information about any question or problem that you may have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of five years, so you're able to get security patches without having to worry about softwareproblems in the long run. Because Ubuntu is totally free to use, you will be able to modify both its core and the thousands of additional software packages that you can download and install in any way you find fit, devoid of restrictions and without having to pay any license fees. In this way, you will get a rapid, stable and powerful hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with all our VPS plans and you can acquire a VPS running it in less than one hour. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are available, so you can select the one that you need if the software that you wish to run on the hosting server has specific system requirements in this regard. You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you will be able to set up anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a world wide web interface and all required web server, MySQL, FTP, electronic mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of installation is more suitable for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you will find on our order page if you decide to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition, so as to meet the system requirements of the applications that you would like to install on the server. You may also choose the software that will run on your machine, as we will install only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be custom software of your liking. You will be able to install the latter without problems from a Secure Shell console, because you will have root-level access and you'll have full control of the hosting server. You are free to set up a web hosting Control Panel as well and control some things through 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, contains OS updates.
