CentOS is among the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It's employed by numerous hosting service providers, since it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it's also very quick and takes minimal system resources. Furthermore, you can set up and run any kind of web app, provided that it can operate on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to modify any part of your Operating System according to your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free of charge does mean that you'll have to pay for your server, but not for any license fees, which will lower your overall expenses. A large community of developers and users is behind CentOS, so if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you'll be able to discover a solution quickly. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for no less than 10 years, so that you'll always have a secure and stable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we offer and you can select it through the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you would like to install and run, you can select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you want to use the server for your own websites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate numerous web hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also buy a VPS with no Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install only the software which you want for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, due to the fact that this OS is one of the options which you can pick through the registration process. Since the software that you wish to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a number of hosting Control Panels, so if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server like you're managing a single large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to have distinct accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and it has the most up-to-date software at all times, to ensure the optimum performance for your websites.
