Ubuntu Cloud Hosting

Quick, Simple, and Scalable Ubuntu Cloud Hosting

Why Should I Choose Ubuntu Cloud Hosting or a Ubuntu Dedicated Server?

Steadfast Networks offers Ubuntu to our customers through Ubuntu cloud hosting and an Ubuntu dedicated server to provide a Linux-based operating system with unparalleled control and customization options. "Ubuntu" is a South African philosophy roughly translated as "humanity towards others." The operating system Ubuntu was developed around this philosophy, and combines the principles of open development and free software with an incredibly powerful design.

Ubuntu is based on the Debian Linux distribution, but its similarity to other operating systems stops there. The main difference is that Ubuntu offers a huge variety of incredible features, including a large range of pre-installed free and open-source applications like LibreOffice (for your office application needs), custom social and email apps, a range of photo and video editing applications, and the Ubuntu One Music Store. But Ubuntu is also fully compatible with your existing PC files and with popular software like Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and the Microsoft Office Suite. It's the only operating system that allows you to connect your MP3 player, camera, or printer right out of the box – no installation required!

Ubuntu's virus protection is unmatched, and regular updates are provided to users every six months – for free. And Ubuntu's incredible speed – whether it comes to booting up or opening a browser – can't be beat. Ubuntu is a great choice for anyone who's looking for a powerful operating system that combines flexibility, ease of use, and a dedication to the principles of free software.
