CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with any alternative operating system. This means regular security and stability updates that will provide a great software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is one of several Operating System choices offered by our Linux VPS web hosting services. You'll get a fast, secure and reliable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made during the sign-up process. You can also choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with other Linux releases. These options give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your personal Internet sites and to manage the server as one very powerful account, or to set up multiple accounts and give access to other people if, for instance, you wish to start a website hosting reseller business. In case you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, but without the further software which is usually installed on it, you're able to order a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to fully customize the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we offer, due to the fact that this Operating System is one of the options that you will be able to choose during the order process. Since the software that you intend to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS works with numerous web hosting Control Panels, so if you obtain a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to manage the server as if you're managing a single large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to have different accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels feature such a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades every week and will ensure that your server is protected and it has the most recent software at all times, to ensure the best performance for your websites.
