CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have 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 cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you find the reply to any question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is longer than with any alternative operating system. This means frequent protection and stability updates which provides a reliable software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you obtain one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You can decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you intend to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you can 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 us, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for all of your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with all our dedicated server packages. During the registration process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you intend to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to take care of the entire server like just a single account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make an individual account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on your dedicated server.
