Ubuntu is one of the most widespread Linux releases for desktop machines, but the Operating System also has a server edition, which has been gaining popularity these days. Ubuntu is extremely fast and supports multiple hardware components, so it can function on pretty much every server not using a lot of system resources. The OS is widely known as pretty reliable and secure, plus due to its popularity, you will find numerous sources online with information about any question or problem that you might have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, so you're able to get security patches without worrying about softwaretroubles over time. Since Ubuntu is free to use, you'll be able to modify both its core and the thousands of additional software packages which you can download and install in any way you see fit, with no restrictions and without any license fees. In this way, you can receive a quick, dependable and powerful hosting service and pay just the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Hosting
Ubuntu is among the OS options that you can find on our registration page if you choose to acquire one of our dedicated hosting. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to satisfy the system requirements of the applications that you intend to install on the server. You can also choose the software that will operate on your machine, because we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be customized software of your liking. You are able to install the latter without problems using a Secure Shell console, since you will get root-level access and you will have full control over the hosting server. You can set up a website hosting Control Panel as well and control some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things simpler, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, includes Operating System upgrades.
