If you order your server without a website hosting Control Panel, the only software that will be set up on top of Ubuntu is the Apache web server software, therefore you are able to use a console to access the server and to set up a software environment that you choose. If you acquire your server with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a world wide web interface with which you can control almost everything as quickly as you control a regular shared account and all of the necessary MySQL, FTP and email server software are pre-installed, yet the root access to your server is limited.
