CentOS is amongst the most widespread Linux-based server Operating Systems today. It's preferred by a number of website hosting service providers, since it is 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 is also very fast and takes negligible resources. What's more, you're able to set up and run any web app, as long as it can operate on a Linux computer system. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you are able to edit any part of the Operating System according to your needs. The fact that CentOS is free does mean that you'll need to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, that will minimize your overall expenses. A huge team of developers and users is behind CentOS, so that in case you ever have any kind of problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a particular task, you'll be able to find a solution quickly. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for at least ten years, so you'll always have a safe and dependable software environment.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you decide to order one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you will be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. Also, you can purchase a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the bundle.
