Ubuntu in VPS Servers

If you need an Ubuntu-powered hosting server, you'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS with each VPS server package that we offer and everything will be set up within 60 minutes, so you're able to start using the VPS without delay. We offer two separate versions due to the fact that certain programs have specific requirements in order to work efficiently. You are able to control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface and the software which is required for your sites will be pre-installed; while if you order it without any Control Panel, you will get only the Operating System and the Apache web server software, so you'll be able to install other software through Secure Shell. When you decide to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our admins will keep close track of your server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You can get Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, as we offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions 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 regarding the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which provides you with full control over the software environment. We'll install only the Apache web server software, so you will be able to add anything else you need, even if it's not related directly to websites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You're able to manage everything from a console, but if you want, you may also install a website hosting Control Panel, when it supports Ubuntu. If you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we will keep your Operating System up-to-date every week and will make sure that you have the most recent software packages for a well-balanced and risk-free server environment.
