Sr. Associate Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Hosting websites and databases has become cost‑effective and supports long‑term cloud growth
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.
