CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we provide with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you wish to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from a couple of website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to manage the server like a single account irrespective of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to generate a different account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you'll get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply weekly OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most recent and most secure software on your dedicated server.
