Ubuntu is a widespread desktop Operating System, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server version is getting pretty popular as well. The main reason is that the operating system is extremely light and it'll run on almost any kind of hardware with no issues, utilizing its resources to the max. Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) releases are supported for a minimum of 5 years, which warrants that you should have a risk-free and stable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. Also, Ubuntu has one of the largest user communities globally, so if you experience any problem or have any kind of question, you'll discover plenty of resources on the Internet. Among the major benefits of this Operating System is the fact that it features a large number of software packages which can be easily adjusted according to your needs and / or the needs of the applications which you intend to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any license fees any time. In comparison, other OS's are paid and their code is not accessible, therefore it can't be changed.
