Dedicated hosting accounts

The most avant-garde of all hosting alternatives, the dedicated servers provided by Fast Webs come with various web hosting Control Panel options: (a) Hepsia (with the Debian Linux Operating System exclusively; freely given; unlimited hosted domain names; a single web hosting account login; no root privileges; our top suggestion because of the inclusion of the top-of-the-line Domain Manager – not included by default in any other webspace hosting CP on the whole marketplace); (b) DirectAdmin (free of charge); (c) cPanel (a monthly cost involved). Both DirectAdmin and cPanel operate with CentOS only; unmetered hosted Top Level Domains; demand an additional login for domain, billing transaction and ticket support handling purposes; dedicated server root privileges. All dedicated hosting severs are available only in the American server farm.

Control Panel ¹ - The Hepsia Control Panel is a normal accessory solely in combination with the Debian Linux OS and is provided without charge. With Hepsia you can host unmetered web site names under one user account. This is attainable owing to Hepsia's efficient Domain Manager section. The other web hosting Control Panel devices, i.e. cPanel and DirectAdmin, are attainable only in combination with CentOS. In contrast with Hepsia, with them you must have 2 separate user logins. This is so, because of the fact that cPanel and DirectAdmin do not offer any domain registration/transfer/administration services. If you select Ubuntu as an Operating System for your dedicated web hosting server, there will be no web hosting Control Panel choice.

Hosted Domains ² - unmetered domains can be hosted with all offered hosting CP tools, but only with Hepsia you can register/transfer/manage your web page names under a single hosting account. Unfortunately, the cPanel/DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel platforms do not offer such possibility at all - there is no Domain Manager interface and this is why they demand 2 different web hosting account logins: 1 domain name management/billing/support user account and 1 site management account (i.e. the actual cPanel/DirectAdmin web hosting CP).

Operating System ³ - you will note that the Hepsia Control Panel sustains Debian Linux only. It's free of cost to install it on your dedicated server. Hepsia is not available with CentOS or Ubuntu. The cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel devices work solely with the CentOS OS. Neither of them is offered with Debian or Ubuntu.

Root Access Availability ⁴ - not offered solely with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and offered in all other instances.
