CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
You can pick CentOS for your new virtual private server throughout the sign-up process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the chance to pick the one that is more suitable for the apps that you'd like to install and manage. CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you intend to do - to set up a separate account for every single domain name hosted on the server and even to start your very own reseller business, or to host all your domain names at the same time and control the whole server as one single account. You'll also have the option to get the VPS without any Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, however with no additional software that comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can install web or database servers which are different from the standard ones that we offer.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, due to the fact that this OS is one of the options which you are able to pick during the order process. As the software that you want to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports a number of web hosting Control Panels, so if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you can control the server as if you're managing a single very large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to have independent accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates every week and will ensure that your server is safe and has the latest software at all times, in order to guarantee the best possible performance for your websites.
