Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is one of the OS options that you'll find on our order page when you want to acquire one of our dedicated servers. We can install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, to satisfy the system requirements of the apps which you would like to install on the server. You can also choose the software which will run on your machine, due to the fact that we will set up only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom-made software of your liking. You are able to install the latter without problems from a Secure Shell console, since you will get root-level access and you will get full control of the hosting server. You can set up a web hosting Control Panel as well and manage some things via a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, contains Operating System updates.
