CentOS is among the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It is used by lots of website hosting service providers, because it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it's also very fast and takes minimal system resources. What's more, you're able to set up and run any kind of web app, as long as it can run on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you'll be able to change any part of your Operating System in accordance with your specifications. The fact that CentOS is provided for free also means that you'll need to pay just for your server, and not for any license fees, that will reduce your overall expenses. A vast team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, therefore in case you ever have any problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a certain task, you can discover a solution right away. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for no less than ten years, so that you will always have a secure and dependable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is available with each and every virtual private server that we supply and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you'd like to install and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be all set soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to use the server for your very own sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to set up various hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also buy a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can set up just the software which you want for your applications.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You'll be able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options which you are able to select on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels that we offer, which means that you can select Hepsia or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users that need a powerful web hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will help you make numerous web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you will be able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
