Ubuntu is a widespread desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting quite popular too. The main reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it'll function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least five years, which guarantees that you should have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any problem or have any question, you'll discover plenty of resources on the net. One of the basic advantages of this OS is that it contains thousands of software packages which can be freely modified according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps that you need to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.

You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you'll have an online interface and all necessary web server, MySQL, FTP, electronic mail server, etcetera. software is pre-installed.
