CentOS
Find out more about the CentOS Linux distribution and why it is the OS preferred by a lot of hosting providers.
CentOS is one of the preferred Operating Systems for hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux distributions available, yet what differentiates it from all the rest is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a dependable and risk-free OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, which is longer than with any other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore if you encounter any kind of problem or have some questions, you can instantly get the details which you need. CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, since it's very stable and protected, that makes it very reliable even when you host sensitive information. Because it is open-source, you'll 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, since you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.

CentOS in VPS Servers
If you obtain one of our
VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the sign-up page. You are able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you intend to set up later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you will be able to order the server without any Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for all your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a
dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, as this Operating System is one of the options that you're able to pick through the order process. Since the software that you need to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports various website hosting Control Panels, so if you get a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to control the server like you're managing one very large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to have individual accounts for the
domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will make sure that your server is secure and it has the latest software at all times, so as to guarantee the best performance for your web sites.
