CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux releases out there, yet what distinguishes it from all of the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a dependable and risk-free OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, that's much longer than with any other OS in existence. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so in case you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you're able to instantly find the details which you need. CentOS is widely known as among the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even if you host sensitive info. Due to the fact that it is open-source, you can modify any part of it and customize it according to your needs, 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

CentOS is offered with every single virtual private server that we provide and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to set up and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three web hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you want to employ the server for your personal Internet sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to set up multiple hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also purchase a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can install just the software that you need for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server packages that we supply, you are able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you're able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. Also, you can get a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, in place 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 sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are included in the bundle.
