In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities worldwide, which means that if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you will find lots of resources on the net. Among the key benefits of this OS is the fact that it contains tens of thousands of software packages that can be freely adjusted in accordance with your needs as well as the requirements of the apps that you wish to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees any time.

Linux VPS hosting and you can get a VPS running it in just one hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so that you will be able to choose the one that you need if the software that you would like to run on the server has specific system requirements in this regard. You can 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 will be able to install anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have an online interface and all the required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software is pre-installed.
