CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any of them. It's 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 making use of CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is a lot longer than with any other OS. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is available with every single virtual private server that we supply and you will be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you would like to install and run, you will 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 of the three hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you'd like to use the server for your personal websites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate various web hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without any Control Panel and you will get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can install only the software that you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we offer, since this OS is on the list of options that you can select during the registration process. Since the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with different website hosting Control Panels, and if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server like you're controlling a single very large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to have separate accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. In case you add the Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will make sure that your server is secure and has the most recent software at all times, in order to guarantee the optimum performance for your websites.
