CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as being one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can 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 need to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you may have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means routine security and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System options provided by our Linux VPS servers. You will get a quick, secure and dependable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made through the sign-up process. You'll also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux releases. These options give you the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your personal sites and to manage the whole server as a very powerful account, or to make different accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a web hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, but devoid of the further software that is usually installed on it, you're able to acquire a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you entirely customize the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to acquire CentOS with each dedicated server which we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options which you're able to select on the order page. CentOS is compatible with all three website hosting Control Panels that we provide, therefore you will be able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful web hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one very large account, while the other two Control Panels will allow you to set up a number of web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you can pick a server setup with no 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.
