CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating System choices offered by our Linux VPS hosting. You'll get a quick, risk-free and dependable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made through the registration process. You may also select from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux releases. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your Internet sites and to manage the server as one very powerful account, or to generate a number of accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a hosting reseller business. If you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet with no additional software which is usually set up on it, you will be able to purchase a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to completely customize the software environment for your Internet sites.
