CentOS is amongst the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It's employed by countless hosting service providers, as it's 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 very fast and takes minimal resources. Furthermore, you are able to set up and run any kind of web application, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to customize any part of your Operating System in accordance with your specifications. The fact that CentOS is free of charge does mean that you will have to pay for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, which will reduce your overall expenses. A vast team of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that if you ever have any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a certain task, you can find a solution right away. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that each and every release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so that you will always have a safe and stable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is accessible with every single VPS server that we provide and you can select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you'd like to install and run, you can pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set soon after that. CentOS supports all the three website hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you want to use the server for your very own web sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up various hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS with no Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up just the software which you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server packages. During the sign-up process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the apps that you'd like to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from various web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to manage the whole server like a single account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to create an independent account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not pick any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to devote time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most protected software on the dedicated server.
