Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, which uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular too. The reason is that the OS is amazingly light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a secure and stable software environment on your website hosting server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities around the world, so if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will discover numerous resources on the Internet. One of the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it comes with numerous software packages that can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you want to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
