CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for website hosting servers. It's one of the numerous Linux releases available, yet what distinguishes it from the rest is its long-term support, which guarantees that you'll always have a dependable and risk-free Operating System. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with almost every other OS available on the market. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, so in the event you experience any kind of problem or have any questions, you can instantly discover the data which you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, due to the fact that it is very stable and protected, which makes it really reliable even if you host private information. Because it is open-source, you are able to modify any part of it and personalize it according to your needs, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you will not have to pay license fees of any type.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
CentOS is available with every single virtual private server that we supply and you can select it through the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you need to install and run, you're able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be online shortly after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you want to employ the server for your personal Internet sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to create many web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS without any Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install only the software that you need for your apps.
