CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with all our dedicated server packages. During the sign-up process, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the apps that you want to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to pick from various web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to manage the server like an individual account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to create an independent account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you do not pick any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer you weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't have to devote effort and time downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on the dedicated server.
