CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you can pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you would like to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from a couple of hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to control the whole server like an individual account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to create a separate account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide regular OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you will not need to spend effort and time downloading and setting up the latest and most secure software on the dedicated server.
