CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with our
dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the applications that you'd like to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from various website hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you'll be able to control the entire server like a single account regardless of the number of
domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make a separate account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not pick any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide you with weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
