CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It's one of the many Linux distributions out there, yet what differentiates it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a stable and protected OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with almost every other OS on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you encounter any problem or have any questions, you will be able to rapidly get the data which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and protected, that makes it really reliable even if you host sensitive info. Because it is open-source, you are able to modify each and every part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't need to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Servers
If you order one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the registration page. You're able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you need to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you need different software on it, you're able to order the server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a safe and reliable website hosting service for all your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You are able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we offer, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you are able to choose on our registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels which we provide, which means that you are able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful web hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single large account, whereas the other two Control Panels allow you to set up various hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the 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, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
