If you use a CentOS-powered server, you can update any part of your Operating System according to your requirements.

CentOS in VPS Servers
You can select CentOS for your brand new VPS server throughout the signup process. We offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions, so as to give you the chance to choose the one that is more suitable for the applications that you intend to install and work with. CentOS supports various hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you would like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain hosted on the server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all of your domains at the same time and manage the server as one single account. You will also have the option to purchase your VPS with no Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but devoid of the extra software that comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can set up web or database servers which are different from the default ones which we offer.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, as this OS is on the list of options which you are able to select during the registration process. As the software that you wish to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server like you're controlling a single very large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to have different accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates every week and will make sure that your server is safe and it has the most recent software all the time, so as to ensure the best performance for your sites.
