CentOS is among the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It's employed by a large number of web hosting service providers, because it's very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also really quick and takes negligible resources. On top of that, you're able to set up and run any kind of web app, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you'll be able to edit any part of your Operating System in accordance with your specifications. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free means that you will have to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, which will cut down your overall expenses. A huge team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, and if you ever experience any kind of problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you can find a solution quickly. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each version is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, which means that you will always have a secure and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System solutions provided by our VPS hosting plans. You will get a quick, safe and dependable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, according to the choice that you've made during the sign-up process. You can also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, which is not possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your personal websites and to manage the entire server as a very powerful account, or to make different accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you want to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, yet with no further software that's usually installed on it, you're able to acquire a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to fully modify the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you are able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal websites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You can also buy a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom-made software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the package.
