CentOS is among the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It is employed by various web hosting service providers, since it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it is also really quick and takes negligible resources. Furthermore, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web application, provided that it can run on a Linux device. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you can adjust any part of your Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you will have to pay only for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, that will cut down your overall expenses. A vast community of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that if you ever encounter any problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a certain task, you'll be able to discover a solution right away. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so that you will always have a safe and stable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you buy one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the sign-up page. You will be able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you'd like to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you need different software on it, you're able to order your server without any Control Panel and you'll get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a protected and reliable hosting service for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with all our dedicated server plans. During the sign-up process, you can select 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 apps that you want to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from various web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to take care of the whole server like just a single account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make a different account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you don't pick any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to invest time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on your dedicated server.
