In first, it in depends on quality of your system source like CPU, RAM, ... .
In addition, If you have time about 2 month, base on the term LTS (Long Time Support) i suggest you wait for Ubuntu server 14.04, else Ubuntu server 12.04 can be the best choice for you.

Waiting is not possible. I need live sever up and running immediately. It has 7GB RAM and 4 virtual cores. Mar 5, 2014 at 6:04

That's not bad. If you can't wait, download and install Ubuntu 12.04.4. By the way if stability is important in services, you can choose Debian 7.4.– shgnIncMar 5, 2014 at 6:07

3For stable production servers always go for LTS (if it's Ubuntu). You will get Updates and support for 5 years, with the regular version you only get updates for 18 months so you will be forced to upgrade your server to a newer version quite more often. Mar 5, 2014 at 7:57

Ya, Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS also available for VM images. But its still a beta. So have go with 12.04. Mar 5, 2014 at 9:24
