CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means routine protection and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with every single VPS server that we offer and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you need to set up and run, you're able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you would like to employ the server for your very own Internet sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up numerous web hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you can 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 no other thing on it, so that you can set up only the software which you need for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you'll be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the applications that you would like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from various web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to manage the server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to make a separate account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. If you don't pick any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer regular OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't have to spend effort and time downloading and setting up the most current and most secure software on the dedicated server.
