Ubuntu in VPS Servers

With any of our VPS hosting plans, you will be able to pick the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We recognize the fact that some programs have particular requirements with regard to the OS they can be installed on, which means that you'll be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Also, you can select if your VPS should include the Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll find everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you will be able to make everything via your online browser, yet the root access will be restricted; whereas in the second case, you'll get Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, so that you are able to set up anything freely thanks to the full root access that you will be given, but the server management tasks can be performed from a console. Our system administrators can keep track of your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis when you add the additional Managed Services bundle that we offer.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
