Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

If the apps that you would like to run require Ubuntu as well as a lot of system resources, you can select our dedicated web hosting plans and add this OS to your order with a click. You'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS, based on which release your applications need in order to work properly and to get the most of the server hardware. As you'll have full root access, you will have full control over the software environment on the machine and you can install anything you'd like. The Ubuntu-powered server does not feature a web hosting Control Panel, so you can manage your content from a Secure Shell console, yet if you would like, you can install a third-party Control Panel and use a graphical interface to command your sites. If you do not want to lose time controlling the server, you can reap the benefits of our Managed Services package, that includes many tasks done by our admins on your behalf. The upgrade comes with regular updates of your Ubuntu OS as well.
