CentOS is among the most preferred Linux-based server Operating Systems out there. It is employed by many web hosting suppliers, as it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also really quick and takes minimal system resources. Also, you'll be able to install and run any kind of web application, provided that it can function on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to modify any part of your Operating System in accordance with your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free of charge also means that you will have to pay only for your server, but not for any kind of license fees, that will lower your overall expenses. A huge community of developers and users is behind CentOS, and in case you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you are simply not sure 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 every single release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, which means that you'll always have a safe and dependable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we offer and you can select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to install and run, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all the three web hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to use the server for your personal web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate various website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also buy a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install only the software which you want for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You're able to acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we offer, because 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you can choose on the order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we offer, so that you'll be able to pick Hepsia or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up numerous web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can select 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.
