Ubuntu LTS Guide

Ubuntu LTS Lifecycle — Which Version Should You Use?

Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) releases receive 5 years of free security updates from Canonical. Here's the full support timeline and why it matters for your VPS server.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)EOL: April 2023 End of Life — Legacy Only
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)EOL: April 2025 Approaching EOL — Plan Migration Now
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)Supported Until: April 2027 Fully Supported — Stable Choice
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)Supported Until: April 2029 Latest LTS — Recommended

Still on Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04? Time to Upgrade.

Ubuntu 18.04 reached EOL in April 2023. Ubuntu 20.04 EOL arrives April 2025. Running EOL Ubuntu in production means no free security patches from Canonical — your server is exposed to known vulnerabilities. Deploy a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS VPS on Host4Fun and migrate your applications in minutes. All our Ubuntu VPS plans deploy with the latest point release automatically. Older versions (18.04, 20.04) are available on request for legacy compatibility testing.

AI & Machine Learning

Ubuntu VPS — The AI/ML Developer's Choice

Ubuntu is the leading OS for artificial intelligence and machine learning development. PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, Jupyter Notebook and Anaconda all recommend Ubuntu as the primary supported Linux platform. Host4Fun's AMD Ryzen CPUs with high single-core performance and fast NVMe SSD deliver excellent performance for CPU-based model training, data preprocessing and inference workloads.

Python 3.12 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the foundation for modern AI development. Install Anaconda for environment management, run Jupyter notebooks accessible from your browser via SSH tunnel or nginx reverse proxy, and deploy local LLMs using Ollama — all on a secure, root-accessible Ubuntu VPS you fully control.

Ubuntu VPS — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about Ubuntu VPS hosting, LTS versions, Docker, AI/ML, game servers and global locations at Host4Fun.

Ubuntu VPS hosting is a virtual private server running Ubuntu Linux — the world's most popular Linux distribution for servers, cloud and development. You get dedicated AMD Ryzen CPU cores, DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD with full root access. Host4Fun offers Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04, 20.04 and 18.04 LTS VPS from $5/month across 35+ global locations.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) is the recommended choice — it has support until April 2029 and ships with the latest packages including Linux kernel 6.8 and Python 3.12. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is also an excellent production choice with support until April 2027 and massive community documentation. For legacy application compatibility, Ubuntu 20.04 (EOL April 2025) and Ubuntu 18.04 (EOL April 2023) are also available at Host4Fun.
Yes. Ubuntu is the most popular OS for Docker and Kubernetes worldwide. Install Docker Engine in seconds via a single curl command, run Docker Compose multi-service stacks, deploy K3s for lightweight Kubernetes or full K8s clusters. Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 LTS provide the stable kernel and packages that Docker requires.
Yes. Ubuntu is the leading OS for AI/ML development. PyTorch, TensorFlow, Jupyter Notebook, Anaconda and Ollama (for running local LLMs like LLaMA 3 and Mistral) are all easily installed on Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS via pip or apt. Host4Fun's AMD Ryzen CPUs and NVMe SSD provide excellent performance for CPU-based model training, inference, RAG pipelines and Jupyter development environments.
Yes. Ubuntu VPS is one of the most popular choices for Minecraft Java Edition (Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge), Valheim, Counter-Strike 2, Terraria TShock, Factorio and many other game servers. Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS is recommended. The Nova plan (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 60GB NVMe) is ideal for Minecraft servers with plugins and up to 20-30 players. The Titan plan handles larger player counts.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS reached end-of-life in April 2023 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS reaches EOL in April 2025. Neither version receives free security updates from Canonical after their EOL date. Running EOL Ubuntu in production exposes your server to unpatched vulnerabilities. We strongly recommend deploying Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04 LTS for all production workloads. Host4Fun can still deploy 18.04 and 20.04 for legacy compatibility testing.
Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) releases receive 5 years of free security updates from Canonical, making them ideal for production servers. Non-LTS releases (e.g. Ubuntu 23.04, 23.10) only receive 9 months of support and are not suitable for long-running production servers. For VPS hosting, always use an LTS release — Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (until 2029) or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (until 2027) are the recommended choices.
Host4Fun Ubuntu VPS is available in 35+ locations: USA — Atlanta, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Seattle, San Jose, Ashburn, Phoenix, Las Vegas, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah; Canada; Europe — Germany (Frankfurt), UK (London), France (Paris), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Poland (Warsaw), Norway (Oslo), Finland (Helsinki), Spain (Madrid), Italy (Milan), Romania (Bucharest); Asia-Pacific — Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Australia (Sydney). All locations support Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04, 20.04 and 18.04 LTS.
Yes. All Host4Fun Ubuntu VPS plans include unrestricted root access. Install any package via apt or snap, configure ufw firewall rules, set up Docker, deploy Node.js or Python applications, install Nginx or Apache and customise every aspect of your server environment.
Yes. Ubuntu is the most popular OS for Node.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask and modern web development. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships with Python 3.12 built-in. Install Node.js via nvm to manage multiple versions, or via apt for the LTS version included in Ubuntu repos. The large apt and snap package ecosystem, active community and millions of tutorials make Ubuntu the easiest Linux distribution for developers.
Host4Fun Ubuntu VPS instances provision automatically within minutes of payment. Select your plan, choose your Ubuntu version (24.04, 22.04, 20.04 or 18.04), pick your location from 35+ options, complete payment and your VPS is live with SSH credentials emailed instantly. In most cases you can run your first apt update within 5 minutes of ordering.
