CentOS in VPS Servers
When you obtain one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the registration page. You are able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you need different software on it, you can order your server with no 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 have a safe and reliable website hosting service for your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You're able to get CentOS with each dedicated server which we provide, because 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you're able to pick on the order page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels which we offer, so you will be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful web hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to make various hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you are able to pick a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
