CentOS is amongst the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It is used by a lot of website hosting suppliers, as it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it's also very quick and takes negligible 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. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to modify any part of the Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is provided for free does mean that you will have to pay only for your server, and not for any kind of license fees, that will reduce your overall expenses. A vast community of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that if you ever encounter any problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you can discover a solution in no time. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that every version is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so you will always have a secure and stable software environment.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System possibilities offered by our VPS web hosting service. You'll get a fast, well-protected and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made during the signup process. You can also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux releases. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your personal Internet sites and to manage the server as a single very powerful account, or to make multiple accounts and provide access to other people if, for instance, you want to start a hosting reseller business. In case you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however with no extra software that is usually set up on it, you will be able to purchase a VPS without any Control Panel. This allows you to fully customize the software environment for your websites.

Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you can use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all your personal sites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people.

If you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the bundle.
