Ubuntu in VPS Servers
When you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we supply and everything will be set up within an hour, therefore you'll be able to start using your VPS without delay. We supply two separate editions due to the fact that certain pieces of software have certain requirements in order to function effectively. You can control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface and all the software which is needed for your sites will be pre-installed; whereas if you order it devoid of Control Panel, you will get only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, which means that you can install additional software using Secure Shell. When you decide to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our administrators will keep track of your hosting server and will upgrade Ubuntu regularly.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
You are able to get Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server packages, due to the fact that we offer 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this OS. Thus, you will be able to choose the more appropriate of them, depending on the type of apps which you need to set up and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will provide you with full control over the software environment. We will set up only the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to add whatever else you may need, even if it is not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You'll be able to manage everything through a console, yet if you would like, you may also set up a website hosting Control Panel, on condition that it supports Ubuntu. If you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll keep your Operating System up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a stable and safe server environment.
