CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of all 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'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the reply to any question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary security and stability updates which will provide a reliable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is offered with every single virtual private server that we supply and you can select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you'd like to set up and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you would like to use the server for your own sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create a variety of hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also get a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up just the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we offer with our dedicated server packages. Throughout the sign-up process, you'll be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you want to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from a couple of web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you can manage the whole server like just a single account regardless of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to generate an individual account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you do not select any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with weekly OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't have to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
