CentOS is regarded as one of the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and secure, that makes it very reliable even when you host sensitive info. Considering that it is open-source, you are able to modify each and every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't need to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with each and every VPS server that we provide and you can select it through the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you'd like to set up and run, you can pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all the three hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to employ the server for your own web sites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create numerous hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also buy a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up only the software which you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server packages which we provide, you are able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it's very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host your personal websites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. Also, you can buy a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the bundle.
