Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
With all of our Linux VPS hosting, you'll be able to select the Ubuntu OS on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some programs have particular requirements in terms of the OS they can be set up on, and you are able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. In addition, you can choose if your VPS should include the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll have everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you can do everything by using your web browser, but the root access will be limited; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, so that you'll be able to set up anything freely because of the full root access which you will be given, yet the server management tasks can be performed using a console.
