Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular as well. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover plenty of resources on the net. Among the main benefits of this OS is that it comes with a great number of software packages that can be easily modified in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, thus it cannot be changed.

You can also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you can install anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a web interface and all the required web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software is pre-installed.
