Ubuntu in VPS Servers
We supply Ubuntu with all our Linux VPS hosting plans and based on what system requirements your web applications have, you are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with only a few clicks during the registration process. When you get your server with no website hosting Control Panel, the sole software which will be set up along with Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, so you're able to use a console in order to access the server and to create a software environment of your liking. If you acquire your server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have an online interface with which you are able to manage almost everything as quickly as you manage a standard shared account and all required MySQL, FTP and e-mail server software will be pre-installed, but the root access to the server is restricted. If you don't have a lot of experience, or if you do not plan to waste time on VPS control procedures, you will be able to reap the benefits of our Managed Services upgrade, which includes regular Ubuntu Operating System upgrades.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
You are able to acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server packages, since we supply 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this Operating System. This way, you're able to select the more appropriate of them, depending on the type of apps which you would like to set up and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the Operating System. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software setting. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, therefore you are able to add anything else you will need, even when it is not related directly to sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You will be able to manage everything through a console, yet if you would like, you can also set up a website hosting Control Panel, provided that it supports Ubuntu.
