Ubuntu - Best Operating system for website hosting

  • November 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can easily use Ubuntu for a hosting server, we can easy to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL to run a website in Ubuntu. They launch the new version 18.04, they are improving day by day. On the servers, we always use ubuntu. There are three reasons to use Ubuntu: 1. We are very familiar with Ubuntu. 2. it is very easy to set up all the packages like web server etc on the ubuntu. 3. It is free, we don't need to pay for Ubuntu like windows. That's why we always prefer Ubuntu for development and hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu is very good for web hosting but if you stuck somewhere like MySQL stopped working. so, there is a very different way to resolve this. Most of the times, you need to remove all the package and add it again. Maintenance is tough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being open source and free makes it a lot more interesting. We can use it in a big company and it will save a lot of cost by not having to buy another operating system for all other employees. Thus saving a lot of money at the end of the year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, very fast operating system

My experience with Ubuntu

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have always been interested in open source projects and Ubuntu tops the list. It is my preferred OS since its relatively lightweight and has a good UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux is a good language for programming but seems restrictive in many things especially gaming. It needs more support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu provides a great UI and can be used across various IOT devices. It is more convenient to install it on a rasberry PI and use it for connecting with other devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is great for programming but if doesn't provide support for some softwares. It is a great idea to dual boot with another OS.

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU / Linux distribution. It is distributed as a free and open source software, along with commercial software. It is named after the South African Ubuntu Philosophy. I guess you imagined this being the first point on our list. But the fact that Ubuntu is free goes beyond many customers’ need to not pay for stuff .I think Ubuntu software is a problem-less operating software.It is open source software.Basic knowledge is required to use but very easy to use.The convenience of being accessible to all users is a special advantage.It is an advantage to have no cost for software that does not have slow and no virus threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
When installing some software, you will need to follow the same procedures.In general, some software may have difficulties and only open-source software such as Ubuntu should be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideal to use with internet connections. Can be used to work with internal networks. Viral effects are low.Computers that use other operating systems tend to be slower, and Ubuntu does not show such slowdowns.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although Ubuntu looks like a hard operating system, you will find it to be very easy to use. Try using.

Ubuntu R

What do you like best about the product?
The installation was very quick which got me working! It is super fast with WiFi connections which makes my work easy. It keeps on providing pop ups of applications that i find useful with what I do. The downloading process is also faster
What do you dislike about the product?
Sadly, on the first day i used it, midway my work it crashed. The mouse pointer is slow to move which is nagging. Then please, reduce on the number of adverts, they are disruptive. Some buttons and menus are hard to get until which limits me sometimes. However after using it for along time, i mastered this. It is slow when i am doing various tasks on my computer. The graphics are poor mostly while playing video games
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I easily get free apps to use, but also provides real time results without over scrolling through looking for the right information needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is easy to use, so fast in strong networks, I have not had any data leak instances but also provides free apps which are user friendly. I have most times updated Ubuntu without my computer turning off. Try it today...

Ubuntu Review

  • November 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is a very simple software to install and also update when one needs to. Unlike a few software of its kind, Ubuntu can be customized by an individual user and it works properly for both Windows and maCOS operating systems.Another advantage Ubuntu comprises of is that is it free to download and it also comes with a variety of not paid for apps. Ubuntu’s interface is also very attractive compared to its other competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu sometimes freezes in some operations and its capability may vary from the different operating systems which are Windows and maCOS. The idea of many desktops running is useless because once a file is open on one desktop, it still runs on the same desktop even when transferred to another desktop. Where is the button to show the desktop? It is no where to be seen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just like a good operating system, Ubuntu is very simple to install apps and various files. I have been able to carryout my documentations in Ubuntu. Apart from that, It is easy for me to use various softwares on Ubuntu compared to any other operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For any computer user, both software and hardware, Ubuntu is a very efficient, effective and trusted operating system and i would recommend anyone to use Ubuntu without any worries.
