CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of several Operating System choices offered by our
VPS servers. You'll get an efficient, secure and dependable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made through the signup process. You'll also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will give you the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your own sites and to maintain the entire server as one very powerful account, or to set up many different accounts and provide access to other people if, for instance, you want to start a website hosting reseller business. In case you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, but without the further software that is usually installed on it, you can order a VPS without any Control Panel. This allows you to fully modify the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a
dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, as this OS is on the list of options that you will be able to pick through the order process. As the software that you would like to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS works with different web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to control the server as if you're controlling one large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can have distinct accounts for the
domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS upgrades every week and will ensure that your server is protected and has the most up-to-date software at all times, to ensure the best performance for your sites.
