We're aware of the fact that some pieces of software have particular requirements in terms of the OS they can be installed on, so you're able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. You can also choose if the VPS should feature our Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will find everything you'll need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etc. software, and you can do everything through your web browser, however the root access is restricted; while in the second case, you'll receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, so that you will be able to set up anything freely thanks to the full root access that you will be given, but the server management tasks are performed using a console. Our admins will keep track of your VPS and update the Ubuntu setup weekly when you add the optional Managed Services package which we offer.
