CentOS
Get familiar with the CentOS Operating System. Find out why it is the preferred distro of Linux for a large number of web hosting companies.
CentOS is one of the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It is used by a lot of hosting providers, since it is very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, because it's an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it is also really quick and takes negligible resources. In addition, you're able to set up and run any web app, as long as it can operate on a Linux computer system. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you can update any part of the Operating System in accordance with your needs. The fact that CentOS is free also means that you will need to pay for your server, but not for any license fees, that will cut down your overall expenses. A huge team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that in case you ever have any problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a certain task, you can discover a solution quickly. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each and every version is officially supported and updated for a minimum of ten years, so that you will always have a secure and dependable software environment.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we supply with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the sign-up process, you can pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you intend to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you'll be able to manage the whole server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can create a separate account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to spend time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most protected software on your dedicated server.
