CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It is one of the numerous Linux releases in existence, but what distinguishes it from all the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you'll always have a stable and protected Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with almost every other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so in case you encounter any kind of problem or have any questions, you'll be able to instantly find the details that you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, because it is very stable and protected, that makes it very reliable even when you host sensitive data. Since it is open-source, you'll be able to modify any part of it and personalize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the total cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, because you will not need to pay license fees of any type.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we provide with our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you can choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the applications that you intend to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from a couple of hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to take care of the entire server like an individual account regardless of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to make a separate account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide you with regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend effort and time downloading and installing the latest and most protected software on the dedicated server.
