CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It is one of the countless Linux distributions available, however what differentiates it from the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a reliable and protected OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is longer than with almost every other OS available. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in the event you experience any problem or have some questions, you are able to rapidly get the info that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, as it is very stable and protected, which makes it very reliable even if you host private information. Due to the fact that it is open-source, you'll be able to modify each and every part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you will not need to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
If you purchase one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the registration page. You will be able to choose to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you would like to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you're able to order your server without Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a safe and reliable website hosting service for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans that we provide, you are able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you can use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all your personal websites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You can also obtain a server devoid of 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 the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the bundle.
