CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It is one of the many Linux distributions out there, however what distinguishes it from the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and safe Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with almost every other OS in existence. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so if you encounter any problem or have any questions, you are able to promptly discover the info which you need. CentOS is widely known as among the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and protected, that makes it very reliable even when you host sensitive data. Considering that it is open-source, you'll be able to modify any 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 will not have to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is accessible with each and every VPS server that we offer and you can select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to install and run, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set soon after that. CentOS supports all the three web hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to use the server for your websites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create a variety of hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you can also order a VPS with no Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up just the software that you need for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server packages which we provide, you're able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 web hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host your personal websites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You may also buy a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the bundle.
