This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means frequent security and stability updates that provides a stable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with every single VPS server that we supply and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you'd like to install and run, you're able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to employ the server for your own websites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to make various hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also obtain a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up only the software which you want for your apps.

If you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server packages which we supply, you're able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell hosting packages to other people. Also, you can buy a server with no Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the bundle.
