CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It is one of the many Linux distributions available, but what differentiates it from all of the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a stable and risk-free OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that's much longer than with any other OS out there. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in the event you experience any kind of problem or have some questions, you'll be able to instantly get the data which you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, because it's very stable and protected, which makes it really reliable even when you host private info. Because it is open-source, you're able to modify any part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS
You will be able to select CentOS for your new virtual private server through the sign-up process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the option to select the one that will be more suitable for the applications that you'd like to install and manage. CentOS supports various web hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you would like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain hosted on your server and even to start your very own reseller business, or to host all your domain names together and manage the entire server as a single account. You'll also have the choice to acquire your VPS with no Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, but with no additional software which is provided with the Control Panels. In this way, you will be able to set up web or database servers that are different from the default ones that we provide.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, since this OS is on the list of options which you are able to select during the registration process. As the software that you wish to use may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a variety of website hosting Control Panels, so if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to manage the server like you're controlling a single very large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to have different accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer this a functionality. When you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and has the most recent software all the time, so as to guarantee the optimum performance for your websites.
