CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the 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, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is ordinary protection and stability updates which will provide a great software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

When you purchase one of our virtual private server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You are able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you would like to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select 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 need a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you'll be able to order the server without Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a secure and reliable web hosting service for all of your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you're able to select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host your personal Internet sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You may also obtain a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the bundle.
