Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the operating system is really light and it can run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a secure and stable software environment on your hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you'll discover a number of resources on the net. One of the major benefits of this Operating System is that it contains tens of thousands of software packages which can be freely changed according to your needs and the requirements of the apps which you'd like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, which means that it cannot be changed.
