CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is much longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates that will provide a stable software setting for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is one of several Operating System solutions offered by our Linux VPS hosting. You will get a quick, well-protected and reliable machine with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made during the registration process. You can also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your Internet sites and to control the entire server as one very powerful account, or to make a number of accounts and give access to others if, for instance, you intend to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, however with no additional software which is usually set up on it, you will be able to buy a VPS without any Control Panel. This will allow you to fully customize the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

You will be able to acquire CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll be able to pick on the order page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels which we provide, which means that you're able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a very large account, while the other two Control Panels will allow you to set up a variety of website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you're able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
