CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll have 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 find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is routine safety and stability updates which provides a stable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

If you get one of our virtual private server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You will be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, according to the software that you need to set up later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you need different software on it, you'll be able to order the server with no Control Panel and you will obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for all of your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we supply with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the signup process, you'll be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the apps that you wish to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from several website hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to manage the server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to create a separate account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not pick any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide you with regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you will not have to devote time and effort downloading and installing the latest and most protected software on the dedicated server.
