CentOS is one of the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It is used by a number of website hosting providers, since it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, as it's also very quick and takes negligible system resources. Furthermore, you can set up and run any kind of web app, provided that it can function on a Linux device. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to edit any part of the Operating System according to your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free of charge means that you will need to pay just for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, which will lower your overall expenses. A vast group of developers and users is behind CentOS, so in case you ever have any kind of problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you can discover a solution in no time. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every single release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so you will always have a secure and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you acquire one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You're able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you'd like to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you need a VPS for another purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you are able to order the server without Control Panel and you'll get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a secure and reliable hosting service for your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you're able to pick on the order page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we provide, so you will be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who want a powerful hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a very large account, while the other two Control Panels enable you to create multiple web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you're able to pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
