CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases out there, but what differentiates it from the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a reliable and risk-free Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, that's a lot longer than with any other OS available. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so if you experience any kind of problem or have some questions, you can instantly find the info that you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and protected, which makes it really reliable even when you host sensitive data. Because it is open-source, you're able to modify every part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you will not have to pay license fees of any sort.
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 which you would like to set up and run, you'll be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you'd like to employ the server for your very own websites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate many hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you may also buy a VPS without any 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 only the software which you need for your applications.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans that we offer, due to the fact that this Operating System is one of the options which you can select during the order process. As the software that you intend to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS supports numerous web hosting Control Panels, so if you get a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to control the server like you're managing a single large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to have different accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will make sure that your server is secure and it has the latest software at all times, to guarantee the optimum performance for your web sites.
