CentOS
Discover more about the CentOS Linux distribution and why it is the OS preferred by a lot of hosting companies.
CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for hosting servers. It is one of the many Linux releases in existence, yet what differentiates it from all the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a stable and protected Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, that's considerably longer than with any other OS available. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you experience any kind of problem or have any questions, you can promptly find the details which you need. CentOS is considered to be among the best server Operating Systems, as it is very stable and secure, which makes it really reliable even when you host confidential information. Due to the fact that it is open-source, you're able to modify any part of it and customize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.

CentOS in VPS Hosting
You will be able to select CentOS for your brand new
virtual private server through the sign-up process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, in order to give you the chance to select the one that is more suitable for the applications that you want to install and manage. CentOS supports a number of web hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, according to what you would like to do - to create a separate account for every single domain name hosted on the server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all of your domains at the same time and control the entire server as a single account. You'll also have the option to get the VPS without any Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, yet with no additional software which comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can easily set up web or database servers which are different from the default ones which we offer.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You can get CentOS with each and every
dedicated server that we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll be able to select on our order page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels that we offer, which means that you will be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users that need a powerful web hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one very large account, while the other two Control Panels enable you to generate various website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
