CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the many Linux distributions in existence, however what differentiates it from all the others is its long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a dependable and protected OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, that is longer than with any other OS on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any questions, you will be able to rapidly find the information that you need. CentOS is widely known as among the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and secure, that makes it really reliable even if you host sensitive information. Since it is open-source, you can modify every part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you won't need to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is one of several Operating System options offered by our VPS web hosting plans. You will get an efficient, secure and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made through the registration process. You can also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, which is not possible with the other Linux releases. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with the VPS - to host your personal sites and to control the server as a single very powerful account, or to generate a number of accounts and provide access to others if, for instance, you intend to start a website hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, however without the further software that's usually installed on it, you're able to get a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to fully customize the software environment for your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we offer, as this Operating System is one of the options that you are able to pick during the registration process. Since the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a variety of web hosting Control Panels, and if you get a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to manage the server as if you're controlling a single large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to have separate accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer such a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades weekly and will ensure that your server is safe and has the latest software at all times, in order to guarantee the optimum performance for your websites.
