CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux distributions in existence, yet what differentiates it from the others is its long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a stable and secure Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with another OS on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in the event you experience any problem or have some questions, you can quickly find the information that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, because it's very stable and protected, that makes it very reliable even when you host confidential data. Considering that it is open-source, you will be able to modify any 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, because you will not have to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
If you acquire one of our virtual private server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You are able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for another purpose or if you want different software on it, you are able to order your server without any Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for all your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we supply with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the applications that you intend to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to take care of the entire server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to generate an independent account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you will receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on the dedicated server.
