CentOS is one of the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It's used by numerous hosting providers, as it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, as it's also really quick and takes minimal resources. In addition, you are able to set up and run any web application, as long as it can run on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to edit any part of the Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is free also means that you will have to pay for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, that will minimize your overall expenses. A large team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that in case you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a specific task, you can discover a solution right away. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that every single release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, which means that you'll always have a secure and dependable software environment.
CentOS in VPS
You will be able to pick CentOS for your brand new virtual private server through the signup process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, so as to give you the opportunity to pick the one that is more suitable for the apps that you intend to set up and manage. CentOS supports a variety of hosting Control Panels, so you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you wish to do - to create a separate account for each and every domain name hosted on your server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all of your domain names at the same time and manage the server as a single account. You'll also have the choice to get your VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, yet devoid of the extra software which is provided with the Control Panels. This way, you are able to set up web or database servers which are different from the standard ones that we supply.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
You're able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll be able to choose on our order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we supply, which means that you will be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate 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 very large account, while the other two Control Panels will allow you to set up multiple web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you are able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
