CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with every single VPS server that we offer and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you'd like to install and run, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be up and running shortly after that. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you'd like to use the server for your personal websites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate numerous web hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you can also obtain a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up just the software which you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to order one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you're able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all your personal websites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. Also, you can obtain a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the package.
