CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is available with each and every virtual private server that we supply and you will be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you'd like to set up and run, you are able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you wish to employ the server for your personal web sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create a number of hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also get a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can set up only the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you'll be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your website. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia and cPanel. In this way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. You can also buy a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the bundle.
