Ubuntu in VPS Servers
We offer Ubuntu with all our VPS hosting plans and based on what system requirements your web applications have, you are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the Operating System with just a few clicks during the order process. If you get your server with no hosting Control Panel, the only software that will be set up along with Ubuntu will be the Apache web server software, so you are able to use a console in order to access the server and to install a software environment that you choose. When you get your server with our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will have an online interface with which you will be able to control almost everything as easily as you control an ordinary shared account and all the required MySQL, FTP and email server software will be pre-installed, yet the root access to your server is limited. If you do not have a lot of experience, or in case you do not like to waste time on VPS supervision procedures, you will be able to take advantage of our Managed Services upgrade, which features every week Ubuntu Operating System updates.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
We supply Ubuntu with our dedicated server plans and if you need this Operating System, you're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit version with only a click on the order page. We supply two editions, to ensure that the server matches the system requirements of the software that you wish to install. The full root access to the server will enable you to install various other software, due to the fact that the only pre-installed application will be the Apache web server.
