CentOS is among the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems out there. It is used by many hosting service providers, as it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very quick and takes negligible resources. In addition, you can install and run any web app, provided that it can run on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to update any part of the Operating System according to your preferences. The fact that CentOS is provided for free does mean that you will have to pay only for your server, and not for any license fees, that will cut down your overall expenses. A large team of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a particular task, you can discover a solution very quickly. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each release is officially supported and updated for no less than ten years, so that you will always have a secure and dependable software environment.
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 registration page. You're able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you would like to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you'd like to have a VPS for another purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you are able to order the server without any Control Panel and you will acquire 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 website hosting service for all of your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages that we supply, you are able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host your personal sites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You can also acquire a server devoid of Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the bundle.
