CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is frequent protection and stability updates that provides a great software setting for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System options offered by our Linux VPS web hosting plans. You'll get an efficient, safe and dependable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made through the signup process. You will also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with other Linux releases. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your own Internet sites and to take care of the whole server as one very powerful account, or to set up multiple accounts and provide access to others if, for example, you want to start a website hosting reseller business. In case you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, but with no further software that's usually set up on it, you're able to buy a VPS without Control Panel. This will enable you to entirely modify the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you will be able to select on our order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we supply, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who want a powerful website hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will allow you to set up a variety of web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to choose a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
