CentOS
Inform yourself about the CentOS Operating System. Find out why it is the preferred distro of Linux for a large number of web hosting companies.
CentOS is among the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It's employed by countless hosting suppliers, since it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it can be customized freely, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also really quick and takes negligible system resources. In addition, you'll be able to install and run any kind of web application, as long as it can run on a Linux device. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to edit any part of the Operating System in accordance with your requirements. The fact that CentOS is free of charge also means that you will have to pay only for your server, but not for any kind of license fees, which will reduce your overall expenses. A huge group of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that in case you ever encounter any problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a certain task, you'll be able to find a solution in no time. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every version is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, so you will always have a secure and stable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers
If you get one of our
VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the registration page. You'll be able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you need to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll have a protected and reliable website hosting service for all of your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with all our
dedicated server packages. Throughout the sign-up process, you can select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the applications that you'd like to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from various hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to take care of the server like a single account regardless of the number of
domain names which you host, while with cPanel you'll be able to generate a different account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, since 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 won't have to devote time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most protected software on your dedicated server.
