CentOS is amongst the most preferred Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It's used by a lot of web hosting service providers, because it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, as it is also very fast and takes negligible resources. In addition, you'll be able to install and run any kind of web application, provided that it can run on a Linux device. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to customize any part of your Operating System in accordance with your specifications. The fact that CentOS is provided for free means that you'll have to pay just for your server, and not for any kind of license fees, that will reduce your overall expenses. A vast group of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you can find a solution very quickly. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every version is officially supported and updated for no less than ten years, so you'll always have a safe and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
You will be able to select CentOS for your new VPS server during the sign-up process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the chance to choose the one which is more suitable for the apps that you wish to install and manage. CentOS supports a variety of web hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you'd like to do - to set up a separate account for each and every domain hosted on your server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all your domain names together and control the server as one single account. You will also have the option to purchase the VPS with no Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, however without the extra software that comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can easily install web or database servers that are different from the default ones which we supply.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we supply, because 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you are able to select on the order page. CentOS is compatible with all three website hosting Control Panels which we supply, which means that you can choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single very large account, while the other two Control Panels enable you to make numerous web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you are able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
