Ubuntu in VPS
We supply Ubuntu with our Linux VPS and based on what system requirements your web apps have, you're able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with only a few clicks throughout the order process. If you obtain your server with no web hosting Control Panel, the sole piece of software which will be set up on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, thus you can use a console to gain access to the server and to install a software environment that you choose. When you get your server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you can control almost everything as quickly as you control a regular shared account and all the necessary MySQL, FTP and email server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to your server will be restricted. If you don't have a lot experience, or in case you don't like to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you will be able to take advantage of the Managed Services upgrade, which features weekly Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.
