You can also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you will be able to install anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on it, in which case you will have an online interface and all the required web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etcetera. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but such a setup is more suitable for users with less experience.

dedicated servers. We will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, to satisfy the system requirements of the apps that you need to install on the server. You can also choose the software that will operate on your machine, due to the fact that we will install only the Apache web server software, so everything else can be custom software that you choose.
