CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux distributions out there, yet what differentiates it from all the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a reliable and secure Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with almost every other 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 any questions, you're able to promptly discover the data that you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it's very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even if you host private info. Considering that it is open-source, you're able to modify every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we offer 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 need to set up and run, you can select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be online shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you'd like to use the server for your web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up a number of website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also obtain a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can set up just the software that you need for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we offer, since this OS is on the list of options that you are able to select during the registration process. As the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you get a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to manage the server as if you're managing a single very large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to have separate accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels feature such a functionality. When you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and has the most recent software all the time, in order to guarantee the best performance for your websites.
