Ubuntu is a well known desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting pretty popular too. The main reason is the fact that the OS is amazingly light and it'll function on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also very reliable and secure and all the Long-Term Support (LTS) versions are supported for at least five years, which warrants that you should have a protected and dependable software environment on your hosting server at all times. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities on earth, so if you experience any difficulty or have any kind of question, you'll discover lots of resources online. One of the key advantages of this OS is that it has a large number of software packages that can be freely customized in accordance with your needs and the requirements of the applications that you want to run, not to mention that you won't have to pay any license fees at any time. In contrast, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code is not accessible, thus it can't be changed.
