Ubuntu in VPS Servers
We offer Ubuntu with all our
VPS servers and based on what system requirements your web apps have, you can get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with only a couple of clicks throughout the order process. When you order your server with no website hosting Control Panel, the sole software that will be installed along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, thus you are able to use a console to access the server and to build a software environment of your liking. When you get your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have a world wide web interface with which you can control almost everything as easily as you control an ordinary shared account and all of the important MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server is limited. In case you don't have much experience, or in case you do not wish to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you're able to take advantage of the Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.
