Ubuntu is a preferred desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server edition is getting quite popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is really light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any issue or have any question, you'll discover a number of resources on the Internet. Among the key advantages of this Operating System is the fact that it contains a great number of software packages which can be freely changed in accordance with your needs and / or the requirements of the apps which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at all. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it cannot be changed.
