CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most reliable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you get the reply to any question or problem you may have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is much longer than with any other OS. This means frequent protection and stability updates which will provide a great software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating System possibilities offered by our VPS servers. You will get a quick, risk-free and dependable machine along with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made during the signup process. You will also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with other Linux releases. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your personal Internet sites and to maintain the entire server as a single very powerful account, or to generate a number of accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you intend to start a hosting reseller business. If you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet with no further software that's usually installed on it, you are able to get a VPS without Control Panel. This will enable you to fully customize the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you're able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it's very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels that we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal sites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell hosting packages to other people. You can also purchase a server with no Control Panel and install any custom-made software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the bundle.
