Ubuntu is very fast and supports a number of hardware components, so it can function on pretty much any kind of server not consuming a lot of system resources. The OS is considered to be really dependable and secure, plus because of its popularity, you will find various sources online with info about any question or problem that you may have. The Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, so you're able to get security patches without having to worry about softwareissues in the long run. Because Ubuntu is totally free to use, you'll be able to customize both its core and the thousands of additional software packages that you can download and set up in any way you see fit, with no limitations and without having to pay any license fees. In this way, you can get a quick, secure and powerful hosting service and pay only the cost of the server.
Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
Ubuntu is available with our Linux VPS hosting and you can obtain a VPS running it in less than 1 hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so that you will be able to pick the one which you need if the software that you want to run on your web hosting server has particular system requirements in this regard. You may also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a world wide web interface and all the necessary web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but this type of installation is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly when you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this during the VPS order process or at any later time using your billing Control Panel.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting
We offer Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with just a click on the order page. We provide two releases, in order to ensure that the hosting server will match the system requirements of the software that you need to set up. The full root access to your server allows you to set up any other software, since the only pre-installed app is the Apache web server. You're able to access the server securely from a console, yet in case you would like to use an online interface, you're free to set up any Control Panel which can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you'd like to concentrate your efforts on the content and not on server management tasks, you will be able to add the Managed Services upgrade and we'll handle a variety of tasks for you, which includes weekly OS upgrades.
