Ubuntu is also really reliable and secure and all of the Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for a minimum of five years, which warrants that you should have a safe and dependable software environment on your web hosting server all the time. In addition, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities on the planet, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any kind of question, you will find plenty of resources online.
