Ubuntu
Find out more about Ubuntu, how this tiny Linux distro has taken the world by storm and why it’s now so famous.
Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting very popular as well. The reason is that the operating system is amazingly light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will find plenty of resources on the net. Among the main advantages of this OS is that it contains numerous software packages which can be easily adjusted in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements 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 contrast, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our registration page in case you want to obtain one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages. We'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, so as to match the system requirements of the apps that you want to install on the server. You can also choose the software that will operate on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so the rest can be tailor-made software of your choice. You are able to install the latter without any problems by using a Secure Shell console, because you will receive root-level access and you will have full control over the server. You are free to set up a website hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler for you, we also supply a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, features OS updates.
