Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
Ubuntu is one of the Operating System options that you can find on our registration page in case you want to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition, in order to meet the system requirements of the applications that you would like to install on the server. You may also choose the software which will run on your machine, since we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom software that you choose. You'll be able to install the latter without problems by using a Secure Shell console, as you will have root-level access and you will get full control over the hosting server. You can install a web hosting Control Panel as well and control some things using a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier for you, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains OS updates.
