CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all of your personal websites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You can also buy a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the bundle.
