CentOS is one of the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It is used by a large number of website hosting providers, since it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it is also very fast and takes minimal system resources. What's more, you can set up and run any web app, provided that it can operate on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to customize any part of your Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is provided for free means that you'll need to pay only for your server, and not for any license fees, that will decrease your overall expenses. A vast community of developers and users is behind CentOS, and if you ever have any problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you'll be able to discover a solution right away. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every single version is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so that you will always have a safe and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is available with each and every virtual private server that we offer and you can select it through the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you would like to set up and run, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you want to use the server for your sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create many hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install just the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans which we provide, you are able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host your personal websites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You may also obtain a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the bundle.
