You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up with no Control Panel, in which case you'll have full root access and you can set up anything using a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you will have a world wide web interface and all required web server, MySQL, FTP, e-mail server, etc. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of setup is more effective for users with less experience.
