You can also choose if your VPS should feature our Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will get everything you need pre-installed - MySQL, electronic mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you can make everything through your Internet browser, however the root access will be limited; whereas in the second case, you will get Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, which means that you're able to install anything freely thanks to the full root access that you will be given, yet the server management tasks are done using a console. Our admins can watch your VPS and upgrade the Ubuntu installation weekly when you add the optional Managed Services bundle that we offer.
