Also, you can select if the VPS should feature the Hepsia Control Panel or no Control Panel at all. In the first case, you'll have everything you need pre-installed - MySQL, e-mail server, FTP, etc. software, and you are able to make everything from your web browser, yet the root access is restricted; whereas in the second case, you'll get Ubuntu and the Apache server software only, which means that you can set up anything freely because of the full root access that you'll be given, but the server management tasks are done from a console.
