CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with our dedicated server packages. Throughout the sign-up process, you will be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the apps that you wish to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between various web hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you are able to take care of the entire server like an individual account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to create an individual account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't have to spend time and effort downloading and setting up the most recent and most protected software on your dedicated server.
