CentOS is amongst the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It is used by various website hosting providers, because it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it is also very quick and takes minimal system resources. On top of that, you can 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'll be able to customize any part of the Operating System in accordance with your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free means that you will need to pay just for your server, but not for any kind of license fees, that will cut down your overall expenses. A vast team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so in case you ever encounter any kind of problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a particular task, you'll be able to find a solution in no time. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every single release is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, so that you'll always have a safe and stable software environment.
CentOS in VPS
If you obtain one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You're able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you intend to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll be able to order your server without any Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll have a protected and reliable website hosting service for all of your Internet sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans that we offer, because this Operating System is on the list of options that you can choose through the order process. Since the software that you want to use may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS works with different web hosting Control Panels, and if you get a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to manage the server as if you're controlling a single large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can have individual accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, as both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates weekly and will make sure that your server is protected and has the latest software all the time, in order to ensure the best performance for your Internet sites.
