CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of all 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'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which will provide a reliable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we provide and you can select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software that you need to install and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all the three hosting Control Panels which we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to use the server for your own Internet sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to create a variety of website hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also get a VPS without any 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 install only the software that you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the sign-up process, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you wish to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from several website hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to control the server like a single account whatever the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can create a different account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't pick any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and setting up the latest and most protected software on the dedicated server.
