Why will Virtual Box will not let you use an iso to install Ubuntu on your mac?

Probably because it needs an executable file. Try burning the ISO onto a CD or USB drive. Then navigate to the file called "wubi.exe" (located wherever you burned the ISO) in the VirtualBox thing when it asks you for it.

What is the order for downloading ubuntu?
Download the latest Ubuntu and burn the file as an iso. Change the boot order to make the CD drive first boot, rather than the hard-drive. With the iso disk in the CD drive, reboot the computer. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen as Ubuntu is installed from the CD disk on to the computer's hard-drive. Once the install has finished, reboot the computer (after removing the ISO disc). Note: during the install procedure, you will be asked whether you want to add Ubuntu alongside the present operating system, or should Ubuntu use all the hard-drive, so wiping the original OS. If the latter is your choice, Ubuntu will become the only OS on the computer, so be sure to backup (remove to a safe place) any important files before starting the install.
How do you host a website from home on a mac for FREE With HTML code ready?
Download Oracle Virtual Box. Then download Ubuntu 14.04.iso. Create a a VM (virtual machine) with VirtualBox and mount the Ubuntu .iso in the virtual optical drive. Install Ubuntu. On the newly created VM, install a traditional "LAMP" stack. Follow these instructions www dot digitalocean dot com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu). Once complete, you need to add your username to the www-data usergroup on your VM so you can drag and drop files. Now whatever you put into the /var/www/ folder on your Ubuntu VM will be visible by typing your "Internal IP" or "localhost" into a web browser. To make the website public go into your routers settings by following the specific instructions for your router. Set the "Static DNS" settings to the VM's internal IP. Add a firewall exception to forward all Port 80 traffic to the internal IP of the VM. To make websites easily after this, just download WordPress and extract to the /var/www/ folder. If this works out for you check out www dot HonestRepair dot net. I do this stuff all day long! :)
How do you install Ubuntu?
Go to ubuntu.com and click the button for "Get Ubuntu". The fastest way to get a CD is to download a CD image (it will be a .iso file), and burn it to a CD. The file will be almost 700Mb, which can take 4-8 hours on a broadband connection. Note that the contents of the .iso file must be burned on a disc, not the .iso file itself. To do this, you will need a CD burning application such as InfraRecorder (infrarecorder.org), which will burn the data in the .iso to disc. It may be a wise idea to backup important files you don't want to lose at this point. If you intend to completely overwrite all your files and previous operating system, or if this is a new computer, you don't need to.Boot your computer with the CD in the drive. You may have to change settings in your BIOS to make the computer boot from the CD. At the Ubuntu menu, select either "Try Ubuntu Without any Change" or "Install Ubuntu". If you "Try Ubuntu", you will be taken to a working desktop environment, and there will be a shortcut on the desktop to install. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Ubuntu. If you are installing alongside an existing operating system and you do not want to destroy it and all your data, be sure you select the option to resize existing partitions and install side by side. Changes made after this point are generally irreversable. Once you have given the installer all necessary information and options, it will install Ubuntu on your system. Depending on your hardware, this can take up to 30 minutes, but most modern systems should install fairly quickly. Shut down and restart your computer. Ubuntu will instruct you when to remove the CD from the CD drive. When you reboot, you will see your new Ubuntu installation. From here you can check for updates (there are always updates), set up drivers for your hardware, and install new programs. To connect to the internet initially, you will most likely need to connect to a wired network by ethernet.
