CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is well known as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you might have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, which is longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary security and stability updates which provides a great software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

If you purchase one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You'll be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you'd like to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you're able to order your server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a secure and reliable hosting service for all of your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we provide with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the apps that you wish to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you can take care of the entire server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make a separate account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply weekly OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on the dedicated server.
