Ubuntu in VPS Servers
With all of our Linux VPS servers, you're able to decide on the Ubuntu Operating System on the order page. We are aware of the fact that some pieces of software have specific requirements in terms of the Operating System they can be set up on, and you'll be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu. In addition, you can choose whether the VPS should include our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll have everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you're able to make everything from your Internet browser, however the root access will be restricted; while in the second case, you will get Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, so you'll be able to install anything freely due to the full root access which you'll be given, but the server management tasks are done through a console. Our admins will monitor your VPS and update the Ubuntu installation on a weekly basis if you add the additional Managed Services package that we offer.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
We offer Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with just a click on the registration page. We offer two versions, to make sure that the server meets the requirements of the software that you wish to set up. The full root access to the server will allow you to install any other software, as the only pre-installed application is the Apache web server. You're able to access the server safely from a console, however if you prefer to use a world wide web interface, you're free to set up any Control Panel that can function on an Ubuntu-powered machine. If you would like to concentrate your efforts on the content and not on server management tasks, you can add the Managed Services upgrade and we will take care of plenty of tasks for you, including weekly OS updates.
