CentOS is one of the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It's employed by a large number of web hosting providers, because it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it is an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, as it is also really quick and takes minimal system resources. In addition, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web application, as long as it can operate on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to customize any part of the Operating System in accordance with your specifications. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free also means that you will have to pay only for your server, but not for any kind of license fees, that will lower your overall expenses. A large community of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that if you ever encounter any problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you will be able to find a solution right away. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so you'll always have a secure and dependable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with every single VPS server that we offer and you can select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to set up and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all the three hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you want to employ the server for your websites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to create numerous web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you may also obtain a VPS without 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 you can install just the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we provide with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the applications that you wish to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to manage the server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to generate a different account for each and every domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick 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 provide regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to invest time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
