CentOS in VPS Servers
If you buy one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You are able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you would like to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can choose Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you need a VPS for another purpose or if you need different software on it, you can order your server without any Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable hosting service for all of your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we provide with our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the applications that you would like to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from a couple of web hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you are able to manage the server like an individual account regardless of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel you will be able to make an individual account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
