CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all of our dedicated server packages. During the registration process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you want to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from several hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to control the entire server like a single account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel you are able to create a separate account for each and every domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't select 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 you with regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to spend effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on the dedicated server.
