CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is among the Operating System choices offered by our
Linux VPS service. You will get a quick, risk-free and reliable machine with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made through the sign-up process. You will also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux releases. These options provide you with the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your own sites and to control the whole server as a very powerful account, or to make many different accounts and provide access to other people if, for instance, you intend to start a hosting reseller business. When you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however without the further software that is usually set up on it, you are able to get a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you completely customize the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with our
dedicated server plans. During the signup process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you intend to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can control the whole server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to create an individual account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a 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 offer weekly OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't have to invest time and effort downloading and setting up the latest and most protected software on your dedicated server.
