CentOS
Discover why many hosting providers go with CentOS as their first choose for a hosting server Operating System.
CentOS is one of the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems nowadays. It is used by a large number of web hosting providers, as it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it's an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very quick and takes minimal resources. Furthermore, you can set up and run any web app, as long as it can run on a Linux computer system. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you can customize any part of the Operating System in accordance with your preferences. The fact that CentOS is free also means that you'll have to pay just for your server, and not for any kind of license fees, which will decrease your overall expenses. A large group of developers and users is behind CentOS, therefore if you ever encounter any problems, or you're simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you will be able to discover a solution right away. A significant advantage of the OS is also the fact that every single release is officially supported and updated for a minimum of ten years, so that you'll always have a secure and reliable software environment.

CentOS in VPS
When you get one of our
virtual private server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You're able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you want to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you need a VPS for a different purpose or if you need different software on it, you're able to order the server without any Control Panel and you'll get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a safe and reliable hosting service for all of your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
You are able to acquire CentOS with each
dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you can choose on the registration page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we supply, therefore you'll be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one very large account, while the other two Control Panels will help you make various website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you're able to select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
