Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux releases for personal computers, however the OS also has a server version, that has been gaining popularity recently. Ubuntu is very quick and supports a variety of hardware components, so it can work on virtually any kind of server without consuming too much system resources. The Operating System is widely known as really reliable and secure, plus due to its popularity, you will find various sources online with information about any question or problem that you might have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least 5 years, so you will be able to get security patches without having to worry about softwareissues in the long term. Because Ubuntu is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to customize both its core and the thousands of additional software packages which you can download and install in any way you find fit, devoid of restrictions and without having to pay any license fees. This way, you can receive a rapid, stable and powerful website hosting service and pay just the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in VPS Servers
Ubuntu is available with all our VPS plans and you can obtain a VPS running it in just an hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, which means that you'll be able to pick the one that you need if the software that you wish to run on the website hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You may also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to set up anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have an online interface and all of the required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but such a installation is more efficient for users with less experience. We will also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so throughout the VPS order process or at any later time via your billing Control Panel.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
You are able to get Ubuntu with our dedicated server packages, considering that we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this Operating System. Thus, you will be able to select the more appropriate of these two, based on the type of applications which you'd like to install and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the Operating System. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software environment. We will set up just the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to add everything else you need, even when it is not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You'll be able to manage everything using a console, but if you want, you can also install a website hosting Control Panel, on condition that it supports Ubuntu. In case you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will maintain your Operating System up-to-date weekly and will ensure that you have the newest software packages for a well-balanced and protected server environment.
