CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux distributions available, but what differentiates it from all the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a dependable and safe Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is considerably longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore if you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you're able to rapidly discover the information that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and secure, which makes it really reliable even when you host confidential information. Considering that it is open-source, you can modify every part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you will not have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
You'll be able to pick CentOS for your brand new VPS server throughout the signup process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the option to pick the one that will be more suitable for the apps that you wish to set up and manage. CentOS supports a variety of website hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, according to what you intend to do - to make a separate account for each and every domain name hosted on your server and even to start your very own reseller business, or to host all your domains at the same time and manage the server as one single account. You will also have the option to acquire your VPS without any Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, yet devoid of the additional software that comes with the Control Panels. This way, you can easily set up web or database servers which are different from the default ones that we supply.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we supply, as this OS is on the list of options that you will be able to pick through the order process. Since the software that you intend to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels, which means that if you get a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server like you're controlling a single large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to have independent accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and has the latest software all the time, so as to ensure the optimum performance for your web sites.
