CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is offered with every single virtual private server that we provide and you can select it through the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you'd like to install and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you would like to use the server for your very own web sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create various hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can install just the software which you need for your apps.

If you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server packages which we supply, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia and cPanel. Thus, you will be able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all your personal websites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You can also acquire a server devoid of 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.
