CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the many Linux releases out there, yet what differentiates it from the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a dependable and safe Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore in the event you encounter any problem or have some questions, you are able to instantly discover the data which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and protected, that makes it really reliable even when you host confidential information. Because it is open-source, you can modify any part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of several Operating System options offered by our Linux VPS servers. You'll get a fast, well-protected and dependable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made through the signup process. You can also select from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your personal websites and to take care of the whole server as one very powerful account, or to make many different accounts and give access to other people if, for instance, you intend to start a hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet without the extra software that's usually set up on it, you are able to buy a VPS without any Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely customize the software environment for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You can acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you can pick on the registration page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we offer, therefore you can pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users that need a powerful hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up various website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you can choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
