CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as one of the most reliable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with any alternative operating system. This means regular protection and stability updates that provides a dependable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is accessible with each and every virtual private server that we provide and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to set up and run, you will be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you wish to employ the server for your sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up a variety of website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can also obtain a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can set up just the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we offer with all of our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you intend to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can take care of the entire server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel you will be able to make an individual account for each and every domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll get the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't have to devote time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on the dedicated server.
