Ubuntu in VPS Servers
Ubuntu is available with our VPS servers and you can acquire a VPS running it in just an hour. 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the OS are available, so you're able to select the one which you need when the software that you want to run on your hosting server has particular system requirements regarding this. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you will be able to set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a world wide web interface and all the required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of installation is more efficient for users with less experience. We can also keep your Ubuntu up-to-date on a regular basis when you add the Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so throughout the VPS order process or at any later time through your billing Control Panel.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers
You're able to obtain Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server packages, as we supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases of this Operating System. Thus, you're able to pick the more appropriate of the two, based 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 will give you full control of the software environment. We'll set up only the Apache web server software, which means that you are able to add everything else you'll need, even if it is not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You're able to manage everything through a console, yet if you would like, you may also set up a hosting Control Panel, as long as it is compatible with Ubuntu. In case you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll keep your OS up-to-date on a weekly basis and will ensure that you have the latest software packages for a well-balanced and risk-free server environment.
