Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

Ubuntu is available with all our Linux VPS web hosting and you can purchase a VPS running it in less than an hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, which means that you are able to choose the one that you need when the software that you want to run on the website hosting server has specific system requirements in this regard. You may also select whether 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 using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a world wide web interface and all of the required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but this type of installation is more effective for users with less experience. We will also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis if you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do this during the VPS order process or at any later time via your billing Control Panel.
