CentOS is amongst the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It's preferred by a number of website hosting suppliers, because it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, as it is also very fast and takes negligible system resources. What's more, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web application, as long as it can operate on a Linux machine. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to change any part of the Operating System according to your specifications. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free does mean that you will have to pay for your server, and not for any license fees, which will lower your overall expenses. A huge community of developers and users stands behind CentOS, therefore in case you ever experience any problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you'll be able to find a solution in no time. An important benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, which means that you will always have a secure and dependable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is available 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 that you need to set up and run, you're able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be up and running shortly after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you want to use the server for your own Internet sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up multiple hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also order a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install just the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages which we supply, you'll be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it's very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all your personal sites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You can also get a server with no Control Panel and install any custom software which 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 throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the bundle.
