CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is well known as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is longer than with any other OS. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates which will provide a dependable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You'll be able to pick CentOS for your new VPS server throughout the registration process. We offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions, to give you the option to select the one which is more suitable for the apps that you would like to install and manage. CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you intend to do - to create a separate account for each domain hosted on the server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all of your domain names at the same time and control the entire server as a single account. You'll also have the option to buy the VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but with no extra software which comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you can easily set up web or database servers that are different from the standard ones that we provide.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You can obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we provide, because 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options which you can choose on our order page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels which we supply, so you can pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who want a powerful website hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to generate a number of website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you are able to pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
