Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting
With all of our Linux VPS web hosting services, you're able to pick the Ubuntu Operating System on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some programs have certain requirements in terms of the Operating System they're installed on, which means that you can choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu. You can also choose if your VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will get everything you need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you can make everything from your web browser, yet the root access is limited; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, so that you're able to install anything freely because of the full root access that you'll be given, yet the server management tasks are done using a console. Our admins can watch your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis when you add the optional Managed Services bundle that we offer.
