Ubuntu is a widespread desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting really popular too. The reason is that the OS is extremely light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources online. One of the basic benefits of this OS is that it contains a great number of software packages that can be freely modified according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications that you intend to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
