CentOS is one of the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It is preferred by countless web hosting service providers, since it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very fast and takes negligible system resources. What's more, you are able to install and run any kind of web app, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to customize any part of the Operating System in accordance with your requirements. The fact that CentOS is provided for free does mean that you will have to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, which will cut down your overall expenses. A vast group of developers and users stands behind CentOS, and if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you'll be able to discover a solution right away. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every version is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, so that you'll always have a safe and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
If you obtain one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You will be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you intend to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you're able to order your server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for all your Internet sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we offer, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you will be able to select on our order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we supply, which means that you'll be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful website hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one large account, while the other two Control Panels will enable you to generate a variety of web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you'll be able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
