CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is ordinary protection and stability updates which will provide a great software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is offered with each and every VPS server that we offer and you'll be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you need to set up and run, you will be able to pick between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be all set shortly after that. CentOS supports all of the three web hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you would like to use the server for your personal sites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to set up multiple web hosting accounts and resell them to other people. Of course, you can also purchase a VPS without any 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 set up just the software that you need for your applications.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you decide to order one of the dedicated server packages which we provide, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. This way, you can use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all of your personal sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. Also, you can obtain a server with no Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the package.
