CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all of our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you can choose between 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 apps that you would like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between several web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to take care of the entire server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to make an independent account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you do not choose any Control Panel, you'll get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide you with weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you will not need to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on the dedicated server.
