Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
We provide Ubuntu with all our Linux VPS hosting and depending on what system requirements your web applications have, you'll be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with only a few mouse clicks during the registration process. When you order your server with no website 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'll be able to use a console to access the server and to set up a software environment that you choose. If you get your server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you are able to control almost everything as easily as you control a standard shared account and all the essential MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to the server will be restricted. When you don't have much experience, or if you don't want to waste time on VPS control procedures, you'll be able to take full advantage of the Managed Services upgrade, that features once a week Ubuntu Operating System updates.
