CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It is one of the countless Linux releases out there, however what distinguishes it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a stable and safe Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with almost every other OS on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so if you experience any kind of problem or have some questions, you are able to instantly discover the information that you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and protected, which makes it very reliable even if you host confidential data. Since it is open-source, you will be able to modify each and every part of it and customize 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
When you acquire one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You will be able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you wish to install later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you are able to order the server with no Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll enjoy a protected and reliable web hosting service for all your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans which we provide, you are able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You can also acquire a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom-made 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 our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the bundle.
