CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to personalize it in whatever 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 license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, that is is much longer than with any other OS. This means regular safety and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you order one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You are able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you need to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different 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, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you need different software on it, you will be able to order the server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a protected and reliable web hosting service for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you can pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal Internet sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. Also, you can get a server with no Control Panel and install any custom-made software that you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the bundle.
