CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's well known as one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you find the reply to any question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is frequent protection and stability updates which provides a reliable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is offered with each and every virtual private server that we offer and you'll be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you would like to set up and run, you are able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all the three website hosting Control Panels that we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you want to use the server for your Internet sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up a number of hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also buy a VPS with no Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install just the software which you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you are able to select on our order page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we provide, so you are able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to create various web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you'll be able to pick a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
