Also, you can choose whether your VPS should come with the Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you will get everything you will need pre-installed - MySQL, email server, FTP, etcetera. software, and you're able to do everything through your web browser, but the root access will be limited; while in the second case, you will receive Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, which means that you can set up anything freely due to the full root access that you will be given, yet the server management tasks are done using a console.
