CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's well known as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is routine protection and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is among the Operating System options offered by our VPS plans. You'll get a quick, risk-free and reliable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, according to the selection that you've made through the registration process. You'll also be able to pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your personal websites and to manage the entire server as a very powerful account, or to make various accounts and provide access to others if, for instance, you intend to start a web hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however without the further software that is usually installed on it, you'll be able to order a VPS without any Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely customize the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you are able to select on the order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer, so that you will be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who need a powerful website hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to set up multiple hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you're able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
