You may also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you can install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have an online interface and all the required web server, MySQL, FTP, electronic mail server, etcetera. software will be pre-installed.
