CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most stable and protected 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 program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server running some other 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 kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is frequent protection and stability updates which will provide a great software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating System solutions provided by our Linux VPS hosting. You will get a fast, secure and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, according to the choice that you've made through the signup process. You can also select from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux releases. These options give you the opportunity to decide what you'd like to do with the VPS - to host your sites and to control the entire server as one very powerful account, or to set up multiple accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however devoid of the additional software that is usually set up on it, you can obtain a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely customize the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the apps that you want to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from various website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you'll be able to manage the whole server like a single account whatever the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to make an individual account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you do not choose any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer you weekly OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote time and effort downloading and installing the latest and most protected software on your dedicated server.
