CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is much longer than with any other operating system. This means routine protection and stability updates which provides a great software environment for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

If you acquire one of our virtual private server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the signup page. You are able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you're 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 our company, you'll have a secure and reliable hosting service for your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans that we supply, you can select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You may also obtain a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, instead 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 throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the package.
