Hosting websites and databases has become cost‑effective and supports long‑term cloud growth
Reviewed on Apr 17, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for website hosting and for application stacks like Apache and MySQL. I am using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for hosting my website, and for the database, I use MySQL to host the application and get the response from the MySQL database.
I use Ubuntu Linux in different fields including cloud and virtualization, containerization, database management, file and network sharing, and development and DevOps. I use Ubuntu Linux for my AWS application, as Ubuntu Linux Server is used for heavily utilized hosting websites, databases, and cloud applications.
What is most valuable?
The best feature of Ubuntu Linux is that it serves as a base for private cloud and public cloud VMs for AWS.
It is very useful to use Ubuntu Linux with its GUI-based and CLI modes; the commands are very lightweight, and it is much more feasible for me with its long-term support.
Ubuntu Linux provides business advisory consultancy for business purposes and enables the smooth running of my website hosting to meet all business purposes.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is good because I am using the freeware version.

Discovering extensive documentation and seamless software integration elevates daily operations
Reviewed on Jun 23, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.
Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.
What needs improvement?
I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive

My experience with the pricing for Ubuntu Linux is that I always use the free version, so I never paid for any installations or support.
What other advice do I have?
I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.
I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 plus.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
