CentOS is one of the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems out there. It's preferred by a lot of hosting service providers, as it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very quick and takes minimal system resources. What's more, you are able to set up and run any web application, as long as it can function on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to change any part of the Operating System according to your specifications. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free does mean that you will need to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, which will reduce your overall expenses. A huge team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, therefore in case you ever experience any problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a specific task, you can discover a solution very quickly. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that each and every release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of ten years, so that you will always have a safe and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we supply and you'll be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you'd like to install and run, you're able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you wish to use the server for your web sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to set up numerous website hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also order a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up just the software that you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you're able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia and cPanel. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all your personal Internet sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. Also, you can purchase a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the bundle.
