It's one of the many Linux releases in existence, however what differentiates it from all of the others is its long-term support, which guarantees that you will always have a reliable and protected Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, that's much longer than with almost every other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much more numerous developer community than other distributions, so in the event you encounter any problem or have some questions, you will be able to rapidly find the info that you need. CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, because it is very stable and secure, that makes it really reliable even if you host confidential info. Because it is open-source, you can 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 will not 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 options on the registration page. You can decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, depending on the software that you intend to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you'd like to have a VPS for another purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll 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 will enjoy a secure and reliable hosting service for all your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You're able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we supply, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you're able to pick on our order page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels that we provide, therefore you're able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful web hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one very large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to make a number of hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you are able to 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.
