CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is regular safety and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

If you acquire one of our virtual private server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the sign-up page. You are able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you'd like to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order the server without any Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a secure and reliable hosting service for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you wish to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to control the entire server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to create a different account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not select 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 weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and setting up the most up-to-date and most secure software on your dedicated server.
