CentOS VPS hosting

The CentOS operating system is known for its open-source nature, stability, security, and compatibility with various control panels and apps. Even better, it is still actively supported by its huge community. This makes CentOS a solid choice for your projects.

With CentOS hosting, you will get a fully optimized server for this Linux distribution. The exact server environment differs depending on your chosen hosting provider; in Hostinger's case, it means full root access to modify your server as you want, advanced security tools like a malware scanner, a firewall, a dedicated IP address, an AI-powered assistant for easier server management, dedicated and scalable resources, and more. 

With Hostinger, you simply have to follow your onboarding flow and select CentOS from other available operating systems. That’s it – you will get CentOS 9 Stream pre-installed on your virtual private server.

Yes, you can host as many websites as you want. However, you need to make sure you have enough server resources and disk space for your websites to run smoothly. If anything should happen, you can update your VPS plan in just a few clicks. 

You can also host multiple domains on your CentOS VPS. To do so, follow our tutorial on how to create Apache virtual hosts on CentOS 9 Stream.

Migrating your existing web server to Hostinger is possible, thanks to full root access. Simply download your server backup, secure a new VPS hosting plan, set up your server, and start transferring the data.
