CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most reliable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize 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 will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with any other OS. What this means is ordinary security and stability updates which provides a stable software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is among the Operating System choices offered by our VPS hosting plans. You will get a fast, well-protected and dependable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, according to the choice that you've made through the registration process. You will also be able to pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with the VPS - to host your websites and to control the server as a single very powerful account, or to make a number of accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you intend to start a hosting reseller business. When you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, but with no further software that is usually set up on it, you're able to get a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you fully modify the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we supply with all of our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the applications that you'd like to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from a couple of website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you are able to manage the entire server like just a single account regardless of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to make an independent account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not pick any Control Panel, you'll get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to invest time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on the dedicated server.
