Ubuntu in VPS
When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you can choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS with each virtual private server plan that we provide and everything is set up within 1 hour, therefore you'll be able to start using your VPS without delay. We provide two different versions since some pieces of software have certain requirements to operate efficiently. You'll be able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll get an online interface and all of the software that's required for your sites will be pre-installed; while if you order it devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive just the Operating System and the Apache web server software, which means that you're able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. If you decide to include our Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our administrators will keep close track of your hosting server and will update Ubuntu routinely.
