CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not need 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 cheaper 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, which will help you get the answer to any question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is much longer than with any other OS. This means regular protection and stability updates which provides a stable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is available with every single virtual private server that we offer and you will be able to select it during the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Depending on the software which you need 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 up and running soon after that. CentOS supports all of the three website hosting Control Panels which we supply - cPanel and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you wish to employ the server for your web sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate a variety of hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you may also acquire a VPS without Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can install just the software which you want for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you decide to buy one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you can pick the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia and cPanel. Thus, you can use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host all of your personal sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell web hosting packages to other people. You may also acquire a server with no Control Panel and install any custom software that you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are part of the bundle.
