CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It is one of the numerous Linux releases available, yet what distinguishes it from all of 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's considerably longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you experience any problem or have any questions, you are able to quickly find the details which you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even if you host confidential data. Considering that it is open-source, you can modify any part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you will not need to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is offered with every single VPS server that we supply and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you'd like to install and run, you can pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you wish to use the server for your web sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate many website hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also order a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up only the software that you need for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we offer, because this Operating System is one of the options which you will be able to pick during the order process. As the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports numerous website hosting Control Panels, and if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to manage the server like you're managing a single very large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to have distinct accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels feature such a functionality. When you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades weekly and will make sure that your server is safe and has the most up-to-date software all the time, so as to guarantee the optimum performance for your web sites.
