CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It is one of the many Linux releases available, however what differentiates it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a stable and safe OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is longer than with another OS on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you're able to rapidly find the info which you need. CentOS is widely known as one of the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and secure, that makes it really reliable even if you host confidential data. Considering that it is open-source, you can modify each and every part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you will not need to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we supply and you can select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you'd like to install and run, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to use the server for your own web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate multiple web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also get a VPS with no 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 set up just the software which you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we offer with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you can choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the apps that you'd like to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between several website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to control the entire server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel you will be able to make a different account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't have to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most secure software on your dedicated server.
