CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can 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 have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you might have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any alternative OS. This means routine security and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we provide and you can select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to set up and run, you're able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you want to use the server for your own sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up a number of website hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also buy a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up just the software which you need for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we offer with all of our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the apps that you'd like to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from a couple of website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to take care of the server like just a single account whatever the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can make an individual account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you'll get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't have to devote time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on the dedicated server.
