CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It is one of the countless Linux distributions out there, yet what differentiates it from the others is the long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and protected OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is considerably longer than with any other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, therefore if you experience any problem or have some questions, you will be able to promptly discover the info that you need. CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, since it is very stable and secure, that makes it really reliable even if you host sensitive data. Because it is open-source, you will be able to modify any part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, as you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You will be able to pick CentOS for your new VPS server during the signup process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the chance to pick the one which will be more suitable for the applications that you want to install and manage. CentOS supports various hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel and Hepsia, depending on what you'd like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain name hosted on your server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all of your domain names together and control the entire server as one single account. You will also have the choice to get the VPS with no Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, yet with no extra software which comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you're able to set up web or database servers that are different from the standard ones that we supply.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we provide with all our dedicated server plans. During the signup process, you can pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the applications that you intend to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to manage the whole server like a single account irrespective of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel you will be able to make an independent account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on the dedicated server.
