CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It is one of the numerous Linux distributions in existence, yet what differentiates it from all the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and risk-free Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, that is a lot 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 encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you are able to promptly get the data which you need. CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, as it is very stable and secure, that 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 personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't need to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
If you buy one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the sign-up page. You are able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you want to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you'll be able to order the server without Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a protected and reliable hosting service for your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with our dedicated server plans. Throughout the sign-up process, you can choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the applications that you'd like to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from several website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to control the whole server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel you're able to make a separate account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
