CentOS is amongst the most preferred Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It's employed by lots of website hosting providers, because it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it is also really quick and takes negligible resources. Also, you'll be able to set up and run any web application, as long as it can operate on a Linux equipment. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to modify any part of the Operating System according to your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you'll need to pay only for your server, and not for any license fees, that will cut down your overall expenses. A huge community of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that if you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you'll be able to find a solution in no time. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each and every version is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so that you will always have a safe and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you get one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You'll be able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you intend to set up later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll be 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'll have a secure and reliable web hosting service for all of your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll be able to pick on our order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we provide, so that you're able to pick Hepsia or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a large account, while the other two Control Panels enable you to make various web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you will be able to choose a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
