CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to obtain CentOS with each and every
dedicated server which we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options which you can pick on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels that we offer, so you're able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels allow you to create a number of hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to 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.
