CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating System options offered by our VPS servers. You'll get a quick, safe and reliable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made through the sign-up process. You may also select from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your own sites and to maintain the entire server as one very powerful account, or to set up a number of accounts and give access to others if, for example, you want to start a website hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, however with no further software that is usually set up on it, you'll be able to obtain a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely customize the software environment for your websites.

CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal websites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You can also purchase a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel.
