CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering 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, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is longer than with any other OS. This means frequent safety and stability updates that will provide a dependable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you obtain one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You'll be able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you wish to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you'd like to have a VPS for another 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 our company, you will enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans that we supply, you will be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you're able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host your personal Internet sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You can also buy a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the bundle.
