Ubuntu is among the most widespread Linux versions for desktop machines, yet the OS also has a server version, which has been gaining in popularity recently. Ubuntu is very fast and supports a number of hardware components, so it can run on pretty much every server without using an excessive amount of resources. The Operating System is widely known as really reliable and secure, not to mention that because of its popularity, you will find quite a lot of sources online with information about any question or problem that you might have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, so you will be able to get security patches without worrying about softwareproblems in the long term. Due to the fact that Ubuntu is absolutely free to use, you can customize both its core as well as the thousands of additional software packages that you can download and set up in any way you see fit, with no restrictions and without having to pay any license fees. In this way, you will receive a fast, secure and powerful hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
Ubuntu is one of the OS options that you'll find on our order page when you choose to acquire one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, so as to meet the system requirements of the apps that you wish to install on the server. You can also choose the software which will operate on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be customized software of your liking. You are able to install the latter without any problems employing a Secure Shell console, since you will have root-level access and you'll get full control over the server. You are free to install a web hosting Control Panel as well and control some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler for you, we also provide a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, features OS updates.
