Ubuntu is a widespread desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting very popular as well. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you'll discover lots of resources on the Internet. Among the main benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features a large number of software packages that can be freely changed according to your needs and the needs of the apps which you wish to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
