CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases available, yet what distinguishes it from all of the rest is the long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a stable and risk-free Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is a lot longer than with any other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in case you experience any problem or have some questions, you're able to quickly discover the information which you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, because it's very stable and protected, that makes it really reliable even if you host private info. Because it is open-source, you can modify every 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, since you won't need to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is available with every single virtual private server that we offer and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to set up and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three web hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you would like to employ the server for your own sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create multiple hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also acquire 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 you can install only the software which you need for your apps.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we provide with our dedicated server plans. Throughout the sign-up process, you can pick 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 set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from various web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to control the server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to create an individual account for each and every domain name, that can 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 won't be installed. We also provide regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most recent and most secure software on the dedicated server.
