CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux distributions available, but what distinguishes it from all the rest is the long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a reliable and safe Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is longer than with almost every other OS in existence. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so in the event you encounter any kind of problem or have any questions, you are able to quickly find the information which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even when you host sensitive data. Because it is open-source, you can modify any part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't need to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is accessible with each and every VPS server that we provide and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you need to install and run, you're able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to use the server for your own Internet sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to make various web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also get a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install just the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you will be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host your personal Internet sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You may also acquire a server with no Control Panel and set up 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 throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides all the other things that are included in the bundle.
