CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever 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 will not need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. This means regular security and stability updates that will provide a dependable software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you acquire one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the registration page. You are able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you need to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you will be able to order the server with no Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll have a safe and reliable web hosting service for all of your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all of our dedicated server packages. During the signup process, you will be able to choose between 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 specifications of the apps that you'd like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from several website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to control the whole server like a single account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to create an independent account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not pick any Control Panel, you will receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to spend effort and time downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on your dedicated server.
