CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases in existence, yet what differentiates it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a reliable and safe OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you encounter any kind of problem or have any questions, you can instantly find the information which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, because it is very stable and protected, which makes it really reliable even if you host sensitive data. Considering that it is open-source, you can modify every part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you will not have to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you get one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the signup page. You will be able to choose to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you wish to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with all of our dedicated server plans. During the sign-up process, you will be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you want to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between several website hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to control the server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to generate an individual account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you'll get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer you regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on your dedicated server.
