CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It is one of the many Linux releases in existence, yet what differentiates it from all of the others is its long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a reliable and risk-free OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is much longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in case you experience any problem or have any questions, you can instantly find the info that 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 when you host private information. Due to the fact that it is open-source, you'll 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, because you will not have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is accessible with each and every VPS server that we supply and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you need to set up and run, you're 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 three hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you'd like to employ the server for your own web sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate many website hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also order a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install just the software which you want for your applications.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal websites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. Also, you can purchase a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the package.
