Ubuntu is probably the most popular and widely used GNU/Linux distribution out there. It is based on Debian which is classified as one of the most stable GNU/Linux distributions. Used as a virtual server operating system, Ubuntu provides a basis for running an easy to use virtual hosting platform.
While Ubuntu shares Debian's software packages and is built based on Debian it is quite different in a number of ways. Ubuntu releases new version every six months, so thanks to this updating cycle the distribution is kept up-to-date with the latest stable software.
The main benefit would be Ubuntu's completeness of the software repository which is growing tremendously on a daily basis. That being said, while with the other distributions you need to look for third party repos, search for dependencies etc. in Ubuntu you just tell 'apt' to install a specific package and that's it. Ubuntu is also great because you can easily set it up and it will just work, so you can focus on what really matters for you or your business.

Linux VPS or a virtual private server is essentially a completely isolated segment of a physical server with full root access and its own dedicated hardware resources such as CPU, disk space, and RAM. With a virtual server you get the power and functionality of a dedicated server but at a significantly more affordable price. Also, people who consider expanding beyond the limitations of a shared hosting environment often gravitate towards VPS hosting because they can do a lot more with it, and experience significant improvement coupled with greater uptime and better performance overall. It is without a doubt, currently one of the best and the most popular solution to meet your hosting needs. It is also very flexible so you can easily scale up/down its resources so it can fit your current and future requirements.
It is fairly easy to manage a VPS. You can choose to manage your virtual server using Webmin, DirectAdmin or the cPanel control panel, or you can simply manage your virtual server without a control panel, using the command line interface via SSH. There are absolutely no limits on the number of web sites you can host on a Linux VPS. The full root access allows you to create unlimited user accounts, email accounts, data bases etc. You also have the ability to install, configure and run whatever application you need just like on any other Linux dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server.
Regardless of whether you want to use it for hosting your private blog or multiple high-traffic websites, run your own FTP, DNS or e-mail server, the completely protected environment where you have control and power to do almost anything you want, the Virtual Private Server hosting is the right choice for you and your business.
Once again, the main 5 reasons why you want to use a Linux VPS for your hosting are:
Every VPS has its own dedicated IP address(es), guaranteed RAM, CPU, Disk Space and Bandwidth. Also there are no limits on the number of sites, databases and email/ftp users.
Virtual hosting offers better security than a traditional shared hosting. VPS is an isolated environment where no customer can affect other customers on the same physical server.
Every VPS has its own operating system so users can install and run any application or script. Users can also add additional resources like RAM, Bandwidth and Disk Space or upgrade their entire VPS with almost no downtime.
Each VPS can be easily restored from backup to any physical server with no changes to configuration. Disaster recovery is very fast and painless.
VPS hosting is a perfect solution for those who have outgrown their shared hosting service and offers an excellent solution for clients who require hosting for custom applications and libraries.
