CentOS is among the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems on the market. It is used by many hosting service providers, as it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very fast and takes negligible system resources. Also, you will be able to set up and run any web app, provided that it can run on a Linux device. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to adjust any part of your Operating System according to your needs. The fact that CentOS is free also means that you'll have to pay just for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, which will decrease your overall expenses. A large group of developers and users stands behind CentOS, therefore if you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you will be able to discover a solution in no time. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that each version is officially supported and updated for no less than ten years, which means that you'll always have a secure and dependable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is available with every single virtual private server that we provide and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you need to set up and run, you'll be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 web hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you wish to use the server for your very own sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate many hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install only the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the sign-up process, you can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you would like to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to pick from various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to take care of the server like a single account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can make a separate account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not choose any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer you weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
