CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux distributions available, yet what distinguishes it from all of the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a dependable and safe OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, that's longer than with any other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore in the event you encounter any problem or have some questions, you're able to promptly discover the data that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and secure, that makes it very reliable even if you host sensitive info. Because it is open-source, you'll be able to modify every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you won't have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with every single VPS server that we provide and you'll be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to install and run, you are able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you wish to employ the server for your personal sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate many website hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install only the software that you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans that we provide, you will be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your site. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal websites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You may also acquire a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the package.
