Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, which uses the Linux kernel, and its server edition is getting very popular too. The reason is the fact that the operating system is extremely light and it will function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for at least 5 years, which warrants that you should have a risk-free and dependable software environment on your web hosting server at all times. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any difficulty or have any question, you will find numerous resources on the web. One of the major benefits of this Operating System is that it includes thousands of software packages which can be freely modified according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications which you'd like to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at all. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
