CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux releases out there, but what distinguishes it from the rest is the long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and protected Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is longer than with almost every other OS on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in the event you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you can instantly discover the information that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, because it is very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even when you host private info. Considering that it is open-source, you can modify any part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is accessible with every single VPS server that we provide and you'll be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you would like to set up and run, you're able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you wish to use the server for your web sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate a number of web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also obtain a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install just the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you're able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you can use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all your personal websites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. Also, you can acquire a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the package.
