Ubuntu is a preferred desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server version is getting really popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is very light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also extremely reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a secure and dependable software environment on your hosting server all the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities in the world, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you will find plenty of resources on the Internet. One of the basic benefits of this OS is the fact that it contains a great number of software packages that can be freely customized in accordance with your needs and the needs of the apps which you need to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their code is not accessible, thus it can't be changed.
