Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
When you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer and everything will be set up within 1 hour, therefore you can start using the VPS right away. We supply two separate versions because certain pieces of software have specific requirements in order to function effectively. You will be able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - when you order it with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and all the software that's necessary for your Internet sites will be pre-installed; while in case you order it without any Control Panel, you will receive only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so that you're able to install other software using Secure Shell. If you decide to include the Managed Services upgrade either during the signup process or at any later time, our admins will keep an eye on your server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting
Ubuntu is among the OS options which you'll find on our registration page in case you decide to get one of our dedicated servers hosting packages. We will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, in order to satisfy the system requirements of the apps which you'd like to install on the server. You can also select the software that will run on your machine, as we will set up only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be tailor-made software that you choose. You are able to set up the latter without any problems employing a Secure Shell console, as you will get root-level access and you will get full control over your server. You are free to set up a web hosting Control Panel too and control some things from a graphical interface, as long as it can function on an Ubuntu-driven machine. To make things easier, we also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which, among other things, contains OS updates.
