CentOS is amongst the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It's employed by a number of hosting service providers, as it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also really quick and takes minimal system resources. In addition, you will be able to install and run any kind of web app, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you can adjust any part of the Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free does mean that you'll need to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, that will decrease your overall expenses. A large community of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a certain task, you'll be able to find a solution right away. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each release is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so that you will always have a secure and stable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
When you obtain one of our virtual private server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You'll be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you wish to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you need a VPS for another purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you're able to order your server without Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for all your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, because this Operating System is on the list of options which you'll be able to choose through the registration process. Since the software that you need to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports various hosting Control Panels, which means that if you obtain a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to manage the server like you're controlling one very large account, while with cPanel you are able to have distinct accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades every week and will make sure that your server is protected and has the latest software all the time, to ensure the optimum performance for your web sites.
