CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's well known as one of the most reliable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means frequent protection and stability updates which provides a reliable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is accessible with each and every virtual private server that we provide and you can select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which 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 up and running shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three web hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to employ the server for your websites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to create numerous website hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can set up only the software which you need for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose 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 intend to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from several web hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to control the entire server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel you will be able to create an independent account for each domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you will not have to spend effort and time downloading and setting up the latest and most secure software on the dedicated server.
