Dedicated hosting

The most radical of all site hosting solutions, the dedicated servers delivered by MetroConnects.Net feature various web page hosting Control Panel alternatives: (a) Hepsia (with the Debian Linux Operating System exclusively; free of cost; unlimited hosted domain names; a single login; no root-level access; our number 1 recommendation thanks to the presence of the state-of-the-art Domain Manager – not included by default in any other web page hosting Control Panel on the whole market); (b) DirectAdmin (cost-free); (c) cPanel (a monthly charge included). Both DirectAdmin and cPanel operate with CentOS only; unlimited hosted top level domain names; need an additional user account login for domain name, invoice transaction and client support ticket management purposes; full server root privileges. All dedicated servers are available exclusively in the American datacenter.

Control Panel ¹ - The Hepsia hosting Control Panel is a standard tool solely in combination with the Debian Linux Operating System and is included as a gift. With Hepsia you can host unmetered Top Level Domains in one single hosting account. This is achievable because of Hepsia's powerful Domain Manager menu. The other web hosting Control Panel setups, i.e. cPanel and DirectAdmin, are obtainable solely in combination with CentOS. As opposed to Hepsia, with them you have to use 2 separate accounts. This is so, because of the fact that cPanel and DirectAdmin do not deliver any domain registration/transfer/administration options. If you opt for Ubuntu as an Operating System for your dedicated web server, there will be no Control Panel opportunity.

Domains Hosted ² - unlimited domain names can be hosted with all offered hosting CP tools, but only with Hepsia you can register/transfer/manage your domain names in a single hosting account. Unluckily, the cPanel/DirectAdmin web hosting CP interfaces do not offer such option at all - there is no Domain Manager tool and hence they demand TWO autonomous user accounts: one domain administration/billing/support account and one website management account (i.e. the actual cPanel/DirectAdmin CP).

OS (Operating System) ³ - you will notice that the Hepsia web hosting CP is available with Debian Linux only. It's free of cost to install it on your dedicated hosting web server. Hepsia is not offered with CentOS or Ubuntu. The cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel setups are offered only with the CentOS Operating System. Neither of them is available with Debian or Ubuntu.

Full Root Access ⁴ - not offered solely with the Hepsia CP and available in all other circumstances.
