CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary protection and stability updates which provides a reliable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you obtain one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the sign-up page. You are able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you intend to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you are able to order your server without any 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 will enjoy a protected and reliable web hosting service for all of your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to order one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you're able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host your personal sites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You may also get a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the bundle.
