CentOS is among the most preferred Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It's used by various website hosting service providers, because it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it is an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, as it's also very quick and takes negligible resources. On top of that, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web application, as long as it can function on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you'll be able to customize any part of the Operating System according to your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free of charge does mean that you will need to pay just for your server, and not for any license fees, which will minimize your overall expenses. A vast group 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 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, so that you'll always have a secure and stable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is accessible with each and every VPS server that we offer and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you'd like to install and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you would like to use the server for your sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate a variety of hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also obtain a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up only the software which you want for your applications.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans that we offer, because this Operating System is one of the options which you can pick during the registration process. Since the software that you want to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a variety of hosting Control Panels, and if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server like you're controlling a single large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to have independent accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels feature this a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS upgrades every week and will ensure that your server is secure and has the latest software all the time, so as to ensure the optimum performance for your Internet sites.
