CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with every single VPS server that we supply and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you would like to set up and run, you'll be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you would like to use the server for your own web sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate many web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install only the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to buy one of the dedicated server packages that we supply, you are able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your Internet site.

This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all your personal sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You can also acquire a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel.
