CentOS is among the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems out there. It is employed by countless hosting suppliers, because it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it is also very quick and takes negligible system resources. Also, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web app, as long as it can function on a Linux computer system. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to adjust any part of the Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is free means that you'll need to pay only for your server, but not for any license fees, that will reduce your overall expenses. A vast community of developers and users stands behind CentOS, and if you ever have any kind of problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a specific task, you can find a solution quickly. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each version is officially supported and updated for no less than ten years, so that you'll always have a secure and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is accessible with each and every virtual private server that we supply and you can select it through the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you'd like to set up and run, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you want to employ the server for your own web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to make a variety of hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you can also order a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install only the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages that we supply, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels that we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host your personal websites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You can also acquire a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the bundle.
