Ubuntu is a widely used desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is very light and it will function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of five years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your server all of the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any issue or have any question, you will discover a number of resources online. Among the major advantages of this OS is the fact that it features a large number of software packages that can be easily modified according to your needs and the needs of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.

With all of our VPS web hosting, you'll be able to decide on the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We're aware of the fact that some programs have particular requirements with regard to the Operating System they are set up on, which means that you will be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu. In addition, you can select if your VPS should include our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll get everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etcetera. software, and you'll be able to do everything through your online browser, however the root access will be limited; whereas in the second case, you will get Ubuntu as well as the Apache server software only, so you'll be able to set up anything freely thanks to the full root access that you'll be given, but the server management tasks can be performed from a console. Our administrators will watch your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation weekly if you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.
