Ubuntu in VPS Servers
If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each VPS server plan that we offer and everything will be set up within one hour, which means that you are able to start using your VPS without delay. We offer two separate versions due to the fact that some pieces of software have particular requirements in order to work properly. You can control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a world wide web interface and all the software which is required for your websites will be pre-installed; whereas in case you order it without any Control Panel, you'll receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you're able to install other software employing Secure Shell.
