Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
Ubuntu is available with all of our VPS hosting and you can purchase a VPS running it in just 60 minutes. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so that you'll be able to choose the one which you need if the software that you want to run on your hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You can also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you can install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you'll have a web interface and all of the required web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but such a setup is more suitable for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis if you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so during the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.
