Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting pretty popular too. The reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it can function on almost any hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you will have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will discover plenty of resources online. Among the main advantages of this Operating System is that it has a large number of software packages which can be freely adjusted in accordance with your needs and / or the needs of the applications that you'd like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
