CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are 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 won't have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you find the answer to any question or problem you might have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary protection and stability updates that will provide a dependable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you obtain one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the signup page. You will be able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to install later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you need a VPS for a different purpose or if you need different software on it, you are able to order the server without any Control Panel and you will 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 hosting service for all of your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server packages that we offer, you're able to select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your site. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which 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 sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You may also buy a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software which 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 throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the bundle.
