You can pick CentOS for your new VPS server during the signup process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the option to pick the one that will be more suitable for the applications that you'd like to install and manage. CentOS supports various website hosting Control Panels, so you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you'd like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain name hosted on the server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all of your domain names together and control the server as one single account. You will also have the option to purchase your VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but devoid of the additional software which comes with the Control Panels. This way, you can easily set up web or database servers that are different from the standard ones that we provide.
