CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It is one of the numerous Linux distributions available, but what differentiates it from the rest is its long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a dependable and secure Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, that's longer than with any other OS out there. 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 are able to quickly discover the data that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, because it is very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even if you host confidential data. Since it is open-source, you are able to modify every part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we provide and you can select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you would like to set up and run, you are able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be up and running shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to employ the server for your personal web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to create a variety of hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you may also order 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 install only the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the apps that you wish to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from various web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to manage the whole server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel you are able to create a separate account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't pick any Control Panel, you will receive the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to devote time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
