CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for web hosting servers. It is one of the countless Linux distributions out there, yet what distinguishes it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a stable and protected Operating System. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that's longer than with another OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so if you experience any kind of problem or have any questions, you will be able to rapidly find the data that you need. CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and secure, that makes it really reliable even when you host sensitive information. Because it is open-source, you will be able to modify each and every part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you will not have to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You can select CentOS for your brand new VPS server during the registration process. We offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases, to give you the chance to pick the one that will be more suitable for the applications that you'd like to install and work with. CentOS supports a number of web hosting Control Panels, so you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you intend to do - to make a separate account for each and every domain hosted on the server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all your domains at the same time and control the whole server as a single account. You will also have the choice to obtain the VPS without any Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, but without the extra software which is provided with the Control Panels. This way, you can install web or database servers that are different from the standard ones which we offer.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you intend to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between several web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you can take care of the server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to make an independent account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and setting up the most current and most secure software on the dedicated server.
