Ubuntu in VPS Servers

With any of our VPS web hosting plans, you will be able to choose the Ubuntu OS from the order page. We are aware of the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements with regard to the OS they're set up on, which means that you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu. Also, you can select if the VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will find everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to do everything from your online browser, however the root access will be restricted; whereas in the second case, you will get Ubuntu as well as the Apache server software only, so you're able to install anything freely because of the full root access which you will be given, however the server management tasks can be done through a console. Our admins will watch your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu installation weekly if you add the additional Managed Services bundle which we offer.
