You may also select if your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be installed with no Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you'll be able to install anything through 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 the needed web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etcetera. software is pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more limited, but such a setup is more effective for users with less experience.
