CentOS is amongst the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It is employed by various web hosting service providers, as it's very stable, secure and reliable, 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 very fast and takes negligible resources. What's more, you'll be able to install and run any web application, as long as it can function on a Linux computer system. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you can adjust any part of the Operating System in accordance with your needs. The fact that CentOS is free also means that you will have to pay only for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, which will decrease your overall expenses. A huge community of developers and users is behind CentOS, therefore in case you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a certain task, you will be able to discover a solution right away. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so that you'll always have a safe and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you obtain one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You will be able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you would like to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you need different software on it, you're able to order your server without any Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a secure and reliable hosting service for all of your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You're able to acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we supply, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options which you will be able to select on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels that we offer, so that you are able to choose Hepsia or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will help you generate a number of web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
