Ubuntu is among the most widespread Linux distributions for personal computers, but the Operating System also has a server edition, which has been becoming more popular lately. Ubuntu is very quick and supports various hardware components, so it can function on virtually every machine without using too much system resources. The Operating System is considered to be very reliable and secure, plus due to its popularity, you will find quite a lot of 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 5 years, so you are able to get security patches without having to worry about softwareproblems over time. As Ubuntu is totally free to use, you'll be able to customize 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 limitations and without having to pay any license fees. This way, you will obtain a quick, stable and powerful web hosting service and pay just the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in VPS
With any of our VPS, you are able to decide on the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We're aware of the fact that some programs have certain requirements with regard to the Operating System they can be set up on, so you will be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. You can also select whether your VPS should feature our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll get everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you will be able to do everything from your Internet browser, however the root access is restricted; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, so you are able to install anything freely because of the full root access that you will be given, yet the server management tasks can be done through a console. Our administrators will keep track of your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu setup on a weekly basis if you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
You're able to get Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, since we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this OS. This way, you can pick the more appropriate of the two, based on the type of applications which you want to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You will have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control of the software environment. We'll install only the Apache web server software, so you will be able to add whatever else you may need, even when it's not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You are able to control everything from a console, but if you would like, you can also set up a website hosting Control Panel, as long as it is compatible with Ubuntu. When you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your OS up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a well-balanced and protected server environment.
