CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with our
dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the applications that you'd like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between various hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you'll be able to control the server like an individual account irrespective of the number of
domain names that you host, while with cPanel you can create an individual account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't pick any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most secure software on the dedicated server.
