CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you find the reply to any question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary security and stability updates that will provide a great software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating System options offered by our Linux VPS web hosting packages. You will get a fast, well-protected and dependable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made through the signup process. You can also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options will provide you with the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your personal Internet sites and to manage the whole server as a very powerful account, or to create a number of accounts and provide access to other people if, for example, you want to start a web hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, but without the additional software which is usually installed on it, you are able to acquire a VPS without any Control Panel. This allows you to fully modify the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you can select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Since it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you can use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal websites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You can also obtain a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom-made 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 our optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we'll perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the package.
