CentOS is one of the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It is employed by a large number of website hosting providers, because it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it is also very fast and takes negligible resources. On top of that, you are able to set up and run any web application, as long as it can run on a Linux computer system. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you'll be able to change any part of the Operating System in accordance with your needs. The fact that CentOS is free of charge does mean that you'll need to pay for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, that will lower your overall expenses. A vast team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, and in case you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a certain task, you'll be able to find a solution very quickly. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, which means that you will always have a secure and stable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you order one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You will be able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you need to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for another purpose or if you need different software on it, you can order your server with no Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a secure and reliable website hosting service for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server packages which we supply, you are able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia and cPanel. This way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal websites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You can also buy a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the package.
