CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of all of them. It's 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 running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, that is is a lot longer than with any other OS. This means routine safety and stability updates which will provide a reliable software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You'll be able to select CentOS for your new VPS server through the signup process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, so as to give you the opportunity to choose the one that is more suitable for the applications that you'd like to set up and manage. CentOS supports a number of hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you'd like to do - to set up a separate account for each domain hosted on your server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all your domains together and manage the whole server as a single account. You will also have the choice to acquire your VPS without Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but with no extra software that is provided with the Control Panels. This way, you are able to install web or database servers which are different from the default ones which we supply.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You're able to acquire CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options which you can choose on our order page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we supply, so you'll be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful web hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to set up a number of hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you're able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
