CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's well known as being one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all 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'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is much longer than with any other operating system. What this means is regular protection and stability updates that will provide a stable software environment for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

When you get one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the sign-up page. You'll be able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you want to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to select Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you'll be able to order the server with no Control Panel and you'll obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a secure and reliable website hosting service for all your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, as this OS is on the list of options which you're able to pick through the order process. Since the software that you want to use may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports a number of website hosting Control Panels, and if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to control the server as if you're controlling a single large account, whereas with cPanel you will be able to have individual accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will ensure that your server is secure and has the most recent software at all times, to guarantee the optimum performance for your web sites.
