CentOS in VPS Hosting

You will be able to select CentOS for your new virtual private server through the signup process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, to give you the chance to pick the one that is more suitable for the applications that you would like to install and manage. CentOS supports a number of web hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, according to what you'd like to do - to set up a separate account for each domain hosted on your server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all your domains at the same time and manage the whole server as a single account. You'll also have the option to acquire your VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but with no additional software which comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you're able to install web or database servers that are different from the standard ones which we supply.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

You can obtain CentOS with each dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you can pick on our order page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels that we provide, therefore you will be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users that need a powerful web hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to create a variety of hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you can select a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
