CentOS is among the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems out there. It's used by numerous hosting service providers, since it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very quick and takes minimal system resources. On top of that, you can 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 edit any part of your Operating System in accordance with your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you'll need to pay just for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, that will minimize your overall expenses. A large community of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that if you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you will be able to find a solution right away. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so you will always have a secure and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you purchase one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You are able to choose to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you would like to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for another purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you are able to order your server with no 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'll have a safe and reliable website hosting service for all your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you'll be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell hosting plans to other people. Also, you can purchase a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the bundle.
