We provide two different versions since some pieces of software have specific requirements in order to work effectively. You can control an Ubuntu-powered VPS in 2 ways - if you order it with our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface and all the software which is necessary for your sites will be pre-installed; while in case you order it with no Control Panel, you'll receive only the OS and the Apache web server software, which means that you are able to set up other software employing Secure Shell. If you decide to add the Managed Services upgrade either during the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep an eye on your hosting server and will upgrade Ubuntu regularly.
