Ubuntu is a popular desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting very popular as well. The main reason is that the OS is really light and it will run on almost any hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which guarantees that you will have a safe and stable software environment on your hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, which means that if you experience any kind of problem or have any question, you'll discover lots of resources on the net. One of the main benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features thousands of software packages which can be freely changed in accordance with your needs and the needs of the applications which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees any time. In contrast, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, therefore it cannot be changed.
