CentOS in VPS Servers
When you acquire one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You will be able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you intend to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you will be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll enjoy a secure and reliable website hosting service for your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with all our dedicated server plans. During the sign-up process, you can select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you'd like to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to pick from various hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to manage the whole server like an individual account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can make an independent account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not select any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide weekly OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend effort and time downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
