Frequently asked questions

What is Ubuntu Server?

Ubuntu Server is a free, open-source Linux distribution specifically optimized for server environments. Unlike Ubuntu Desktop which includes a graphical interface, Ubuntu Server is streamlined for running applications, services, and infrastructure without a GUI. It’s the world’s most popular Linux server distribution, powering everything from small websites to massive cloud platforms. Ubuntu Server includes server-specific tools, optimizations for performance and security, and long-term support releases.

What are the system requirements for deploying Ubuntu Server?

For deploying Ubuntu Server, minimum requirements are around a 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, and 2.5 GB storage, but for smooth performance with modern apps, aim for a multi-core CPU, 2-4 GB RAM (or more), and 25 GB or more storage, especially for the 64-bit (amd64) versions.

For more detailed information, refer to the Ubuntu Server system requirements.

Can I run Docker containers on Ubuntu Server?

Yes, Ubuntu Server is one of the most popular and reliable operating systems for hosting Docker and other container platforms. Its minimal environment ensures container resources are not wasted on unnecessary OS services.

Do I need Linux experience to use Ubuntu Server?

Basic Linux command-line knowledge is helpful since Ubuntu Server is primarily managed through SSH and terminal commands. However, Ubuntu Server is considered one of the most beginner-friendly server distributions, with excellent documentation and a massive community ready to help. Many people learn Linux administration specifically on Ubuntu Server because of these resources. If you’re new to Linux, Ubuntu Server is an excellent choice.

What can I use my Ubuntu Server for?

You can run nearly anything on an Ubuntu Server: web servers (Apache, NGINX), application frameworks (Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails), databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab), game servers, VPN servers, mail servers, DNS servers, file servers, development environments, machine learning workloads—the list is virtually endless. If it runs on Linux, it runs on Ubuntu Server.

Can I scale my Ubuntu Server after deployment?

Absolutely. You can add CPU cores, increase RAM, expand storage, or adjust any resource without reinstalling the operating system or losing data. Most scaling operations happen with minimal downtime. Start with basic resources and grow as your application demands more, or temporarily boost resources for peak loads.

How does pricing work for Ubuntu Servers on Kamatera?

You can choose either monthly or hourly billing options. If you choose hourly, you pay only for the hours your server runs, based on configured resources (CPU, RAM, storage). Ubuntu Server itself is free—no licensing fees. Upon termination of the server via the console, you will no longer incur costs. No long-term contracts are required.

How do I manage and configure the server without a GUI?

You manage Ubuntu Server primarily using the Secure Shell (SSH) command-line interface. This method is the industry standard for cloud and enterprise server management, allowing you to execute commands, install software, and configure services remotely with maximum speed and security.
