In addition, you can choose if the VPS should include our Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll receive everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to do everything via your online browser, but the root access is restricted; whereas in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu plus the Apache server software only, which means that you are able to install anything freely because of the full root access which you'll be given, but the server management tasks can be performed using a console. Our system administrators can keep track of your VPS and update the Ubuntu setup weekly when you add the optional Managed Services package that we offer.
