Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

Ubuntu is among the Operating System options which you'll find on our order page in case you choose to get one of our dedicated web hosting plans. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to match the system requirements of the apps that you intend to set up on the server. You may also select the software which will run on your machine, because we will set up only the Apache web server software, so all else can be tailor-made software of your liking. You can set up the latter without any problems from a Secure Shell console, as you will get root-level access and you will have full control over the hosting server. You can set up a hosting Control Panel as well and control some things through a graphical interface, as long as it can run on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier for you, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that, among other things, includes OS upgrades.
