Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting
With any of our Linux VPS web hosting, you can pick the Ubuntu Operating System on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some programs have particular requirements in terms of the Operating System they are installed on, so you're able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of Ubuntu. Also, you can select whether your VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will receive everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you'll be able to do everything by using your web browser, yet the root access is limited; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu as well as the Apache server software only, so that you'll be able to set up anything freely because of the full root access that you'll be given, but the server management tasks will be performed through a console. Our sysadmins will monitor your VPS and update the Ubuntu setup on a weekly basis when you add the additional Managed Services bundle that we offer.
