CentOS
Discover why a large number of hosting providers go with CentOS as their first pick for a server Operating System.
CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases in existence, but what differentiates it from the rest is the long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and protected OS. Each CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, that is considerably 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 problem or have any questions, you will be able to rapidly find the information that you need. CentOS is considered to be one of the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and secure, that makes it very reliable even if you host confidential data. Due to the fact that it is open-source, you are able to modify each and every part of it and personalize it according to your needs, 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 Hosting
CentOS is one of several Operating System possibilities offered by our
Linux VPS hosting packages. You'll get a quick, well-protected and reliable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made during the sign-up process. You may also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, which is not possible with other Linux releases. These options give you the opportunity to decide what you'd like to do with the VPS - to host your personal websites and to maintain the entire server as a single very powerful account, or to create multiple accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you want to start a hosting reseller business. When you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however without the further software that's usually installed on it, you can acquire a VPS without Control Panel. This will enable you to entirely modify the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you need a
dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we supply, since this Operating System is one of the options that you're able to pick during the order process. As the software that you want to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels, which means that if you get a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server as if you're controlling one large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to have individual accounts for the
domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS upgrades weekly and will make sure that your server is safe and it has the latest software at all times, so as to ensure the optimum performance for your web sites.
