CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you can select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you would like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from several hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you'll be able to manage the whole server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel you're able to generate a separate account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to invest effort and time downloading and setting up the most recent and most protected software on your dedicated server.
