Ubuntu is a well-liked desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, but its server release is getting really popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it can function on almost any kind of hardware without any issues, utilizing its resources to the maximum. Ubuntu is also very 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 stable 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 kind of problem or have any question, you will find lots of resources on the web. One of the main advantages of this Operating System is that it contains tens of thousands of software packages that can be freely changed according to your needs and the needs of the apps which you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees at any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, thus it can't be changed.
