Ubuntu is a well known desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is the fact that the OS is really light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a safe and stable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities around the world, which means that if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll discover numerous resources on the net. Among the major advantages of this OS is that it has thousands of software packages which can be easily changed in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the apps which you would like to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, which means that it can't be changed.
