Ubuntu in VPS Web Hosting

If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you will be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the Operating System with each virtual private server plan that we offer and everything will be set up within one hour, therefore you'll be able to start using your VPS without delay. We supply two separate versions because certain programs have certain requirements so as to work effectively. You'll be able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - when you order it with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and the software which is needed for your Internet sites will be pre-installed; while in case you order it devoid of Control Panel, you'll get only the OS and the Apache web server software, so you are able to install additional software employing Secure Shell. If you choose to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep an eye on your hosting server and will update Ubuntu regularly.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can obtain Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, considering that we provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this Operating System. This way, you will be able to choose the more appropriate of the two, depending on the type of applications which you wish to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which provides you with full control over the software setting. We will set up just the Apache web server software, therefore you'll be able to add everything else you need, even when it's not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for example. You are able to manage everything from a console, yet if you want, you may also install a hosting Control Panel, provided that it is compatible with Ubuntu. If you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your OS up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the newest software packages for a reliable and risk-free server environment.
