CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is longer than with any other OS. This means routine protection and stability updates which will provide a reliable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is among the Operating System possibilities provided by our VPS web hosting service. You will get an efficient, safe and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made during the sign-up process. You will also be able to select from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your personal sites and to take care of the entire server as one very powerful account, or to generate multiple accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a web hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however without the extra software that is usually installed on it, you'll be able to get a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you fully modify the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages which we provide, you can choose the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You can also get a server without a Control Panel and set up 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 our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the package.
