CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is longer than with any alternative operating system. This means ordinary security and stability updates which will provide a dependable software setting for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is accessible with each and every virtual private server that we offer and you can select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to set up and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 web hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to employ the server for your personal websites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to make multiple hosting accounts and eventually resell them to others. Of course, you may also purchase a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install only the software that you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we supply with all of our dedicated server plans. During the registration process, you will be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the applications that you intend to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose between various web hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to take care of the whole server like a single account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to generate a different account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also supply regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
