You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you will be able to install anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have a world wide web interface and all required web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etc. software will be pre-installed.
