Ubuntu in VPS Servers
With any of our VPS plans, you are able to pick the Ubuntu Operating System on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some programs have certain requirements in terms of the OS they can be set up on, and you will be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Also, you can select whether the VPS should come with our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll have everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you can make everything by using your web browser, but the root access will be limited; whereas in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, so you are able to install anything freely because of the full root access that you'll be given, however the server management tasks will be performed from a console. Our admins can monitor your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis if you add the additional Managed Services package which we offer.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
We provide Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you're able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with just a click on the registration page. We provide two versions, so as to make sure that the server matches the system requirements of the software that you need to set up. The full root accessibility to your server will help you install any other software, because the only pre-installed app will be the Apache web server. You can access the server safely using a console, however if you would like to use a web interface, you are free to set up any Control Panel that can run on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you want to concentrate your efforts on the content and not on server maintenance tasks, you can add our Managed Services upgrade and we'll take care of a number of tasks for you, among them once a week OS upgrades.
