CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in whatever 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 will not need to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, which is longer than with any other operating system. This means frequent security and stability updates which provides a great software setting for all 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're able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you need to install later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website 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 some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll have a safe and reliable website hosting service for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to order one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you can select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. You can also purchase a server with no Control Panel and install 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. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the bundle.
