CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, which is much longer than with any other operating system. What this means is routine security and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you buy one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You'll be able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you intend to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order your server without 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'll have a secure and reliable hosting service for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you will be able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you can use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all your personal sites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. Also, you can obtain a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the bundle.
