CentOS is among the most popular Linux-based server Operating Systems available on the market. It's preferred by lots of website hosting suppliers, as 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's also very fast and takes minimal system resources. Furthermore, you're able to set up and run any web app, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to update any part of your Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is free of charge also means that you'll need to pay for your server, but not for any sort of license fees, which will minimize your overall expenses.

CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is offered with every single
VPS server that we supply and you will be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you need to set up and run, you are able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you'd like to employ the server for your personal websites and to manage it as one large account, or if you want to be able to make numerous website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS with no Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install only the software that you need for your apps.
