Dedicated hosting

The most powerful of all website hosting solutions, the dedicated servers provided by Free Hostia feature various webspace hosting Control Panel alternatives: (a) Hepsia (with the Debian Linux Operating System only; without charge; unlimited hosted top level domain names; 1 user login; no server root access; our number one suggestion owing to the inclusion of the avant-garde Domain Manager – not added by default in any other web space hosting CP in the entire market); (b) DirectAdmin (free of cost); (c) cPanel (a monthly fee included). Both DirectAdmin and cPanel work with CentOS only; unmetered hosted Top Level Domains; involve a second user account login for domain, invoicing transaction and customer support ticket administration procedures; full root privileges. All dedicated web hosting servers are available only in the United States datacenter.

Control Panel 1 - The Hepsia CP is a normal device solely when combined with the Debian Linux OS and is provided without charge. With Hepsia you can host unmetered TLDs in one single account. This is accomplishable due to Hepsia's efficient Domain Manager tool. The other CP platforms, i.e. cPanel and DirectAdmin, are offered only in combination with CentOS. Unlike Hepsia, with them you must have TWO different user logins. This is so, because cPanel and DirectAdmin do not supply any domain registration/transfer/management functionalities. If you choose Ubuntu as an OS for your dedicated server, there will be no hosting Control Panel option.

Hosted Domains 2 - unlimited domain names can be hosted with all available web hosting Control Panel devices, but only with Hepsia you can register/transfer/administer your Top Level Domains under one hosting user account. Regrettably, the cPanel/DirectAdmin Control Panel devices do not supply such opportunity at all - there is no Domain Manager platform and as a result they call for TWO separate web hosting user accounts: 1 domain management/billing/support user account and 1 web site administration account (i.e. the actual cPanel/DirectAdmin web hosting CP).

Operating System 3 - you will note that the Hepsia hosting Control Panel can work with Debian Linux only. It's free of charge to have it on your dedicated web hosting server. Hepsia is not available with CentOS or Ubuntu. The cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting CP interfaces operate solely with the CentOS OS. Neither of them is available with Debian or Ubuntu.

Dedicated Server Root Privileges 4 - unavailable solely with the Hepsia hosting CP and offered in all other instances.
