CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're 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 won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you may have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any alternative operating system. This means routine security and stability updates which provides a stable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we offer and you can select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you would like to set up and run, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be installed and operating soon after that. CentOS supports all the three web hosting Control Panels which we offer - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will help you choose if you would like to employ the server for your own web sites and to control it as one large account, or if you want to be able to generate a number of hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS with no Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so you can install just the software which you need for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to order one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you are able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host your personal websites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You may also acquire a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom-made software which you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the package.
