CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is well known as being one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can personalize it in whatever 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 won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which provides a great software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you purchase one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the signup page. You'll be able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you need to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you will be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable hosting service for all of your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You can get CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you are able to choose on our order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply, so you are able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one large account, while the other two Control Panels will allow you to create a number of website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
