CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering 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 have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is much longer than with any other operating system. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates which provides a great software setting for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

If you obtain one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the signup page. You can decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you want to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can 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 some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order the server with no Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a safe and reliable hosting service for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

If you decide to buy one of the dedicated server plans which we supply, you will be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You may also obtain a server with no Control Panel and install any custom software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the 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 bundle.
