CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's well known as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any other OS. This means frequent protection and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System choices provided by our Linux VPS servers. You will get an efficient, risk-free and reliable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made during the registration process. You'll also be able to choose from the Hepsia and cPanel hosting Control Panels - something, which 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 personal websites and to control the whole server as one very powerful account, or to generate various accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you want to start a website hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, but with no further software that is usually installed on it, you will be able to purchase a VPS without Control Panel. This allows you to entirely customize the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we provide with all of our dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you will be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the applications that you would like to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from several website hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to manage the entire server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel you're able to generate a different account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't choose any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer you weekly OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't have to devote effort and time downloading and setting up the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
