CentOS is one of the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It's preferred by numerous hosting service providers, because it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it's also really quick and takes minimal system resources. What's more, you will be able to set up and run any web app, provided that it can function on a Linux computer system. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you can update any part of your Operating System in accordance with your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you will need to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, which will reduce your overall expenses. A huge group of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so if you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you will be able to discover a solution right away. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that each and every release is officially supported and updated for no less than 10 years, so you will always have a secure and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating System options provided by our VPS web hosting plans. You will get a fast, safe and reliable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made during the registration process. You'll also be able to pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options provide you with the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your own websites and to manage the whole server as a single very powerful account, or to create various accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a web hosting reseller business. When you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, but with no further software that's usually installed on it, you're able to acquire a VPS without any Control Panel. This will allow you to fully modify the software environment for your Internet sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to order one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you can use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You can also get a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made 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 sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides all the other things that are included in the bundle.
