CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases out there, but what differentiates it from all the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a reliable and risk-free OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is a lot longer than with almost every other OS available. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so in case you experience any kind of problem or have any questions, you'll be able to quickly discover the info which you need. CentOS is widely known as one of the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and protected, which makes it very reliable even when you host private information. Since it is open-source, you'll be able to modify each and every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you will not need to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is offered with every single 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'd like to install and run, you are able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to use the server for your sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate a variety of web hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also buy a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can set up just the software that you need for your applications.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we offer, as this Operating System is one of the options that you will be able to choose during the order process. As the software that you intend to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS works with various hosting Control Panels, so if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to control the server as if you're controlling a single large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to have individual accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. When you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates every week and will ensure that your server is secure and it has the most up-to-date software all the time, in order to ensure the best possible performance for your websites.
