CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of 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, that will help you discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is much longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary protection and stability updates that provides a stable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

If you get one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the registration page. You are able to choose to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you wish to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you're 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 us, you will enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for all your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we supply with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the apps that you intend to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between several website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to manage the server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to create a different account for each 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 will get the server with CentOS only, since 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 will not have to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most protected software on your dedicated server.
