CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the many Linux distributions available, but what distinguishes it from the rest is the long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a stable and secure Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, that's considerably longer than with any other OS on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in case you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you can instantly get the info which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, since it is very stable and protected, that makes it very reliable even if you host confidential info. Due to the fact that 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, because you will not have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we supply and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to install and run, you can pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you would like to use the server for your own web sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to make many website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also acquire a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install just the software which you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we provide with all of our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you can select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the apps that you want to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to pick from a couple of hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to manage the whole server like a single account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to generate a separate account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer you regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't have to spend effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on the dedicated server.
