You will be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you intend to install later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you need a VPS for another purpose or if you need different software on it, you will be able to order your server without Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You'll be able to acquire CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we offer, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you are able to select on our order page. CentOS is compatible with all three website hosting Control Panels that we supply, so you can pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a very large account, while the other two Control Panels enable you to set up multiple web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
