CentOS is among the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems to choose from. It is used by a large number of website hosting service providers, as it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, for the reason that it's also very fast and takes negligible resources. In addition, you are able to install and run any kind of web application, provided that it can function on a Linux computer system. When you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to modify any part of the Operating System according to your needs. The fact that CentOS is free means that you'll need to pay just for your server, but not for any kind of license fees, that will lower your overall expenses. A vast group of developers and users is behind CentOS, and in case you ever experience any problems, or you're simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you will be able to find a solution in no time. A significant benefit of the OS is also the fact that every release is officially supported and updated for no less than 10 years, so that you'll always have a secure and reliable software environment.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
When you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you can choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia and cPanel. In this way, you can use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal websites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You can also purchase a server without a 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 throughout the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the bundle.
