CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of several Operating System solutions provided by our Linux VPS plans. You will get a quick, risk-free and dependable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made during the registration process. You'll also be able to pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux distributions. These options give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your own Internet sites and to control the server as a very powerful account, or to make different accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you want to start a hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet without the extra software that's usually installed on it, you'll be able to obtain a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely modify the software environment for your sites.
