CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the many Linux distributions in existence, however what distinguishes it from all of the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a stable and safe Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that's longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so if you encounter any kind of problem or have any questions, you'll be able to quickly find the information which you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and secure, which makes it very reliable even if you host private info. Because it is open-source, you are able to modify every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't need to pay license fees of any sort.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is offered with every single virtual private server that we offer and you will be able to select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you'd like to set up and run, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you'd like to use the server for your personal web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up many hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also buy a VPS with no Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up only the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you decide to order one of the dedicated server plans which we provide, you will be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you're able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host your personal sites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You may also buy a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software that you need, instead 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 signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the package.
