It's employed by lots of hosting providers, because it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, as it is also really quick and takes negligible system resources. In addition, you're able to set up and run any web application, as long as it can run on a Linux equipment. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to adjust any part of your Operating System in accordance with your specifications.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is offered with every single virtual private server that we provide and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to set up and run, you can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you would like to employ the server for your personal Internet sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate multiple hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also buy a VPS with no Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install just the software which you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

You can obtain CentOS with each dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you're able to select on the order page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we supply, which means that you're able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single very large account, while the other two Control Panels will help you set up a number of website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
