CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's well known as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means routine safety and stability updates which provides a great software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is accessible with every single virtual private server that we provide and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you'd like to install and run, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be installed and operating shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you want to use the server for your own sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to make many hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can install only the software which you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we supply, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you'll be able to pick on the order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply, so that you'll be able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful website hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to generate multiple hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you can pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
