CentOS is amongst the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It is employed by countless hosting suppliers, because it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it is also very fast and takes negligible resources. What's more, you can set up and run any web app, provided that it can function on a Linux device. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you can customize any part of the Operating System in accordance with your needs. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you'll need to pay just for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, that will minimize your overall expenses. A large team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, and if you ever have any problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a certain task, you'll be able to discover a solution quickly. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that each release is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, so that you'll always have a secure and reliable software environment.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we provide and you will be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to install and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you wish to use the server for your web sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to create many web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you may also buy a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install just the software that you need for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans that we supply, you are able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all your personal websites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You may also buy a server with no Control Panel and install any custom-made 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 our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the bundle.
