CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you get the reply to any question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which provides a stable software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
CentOS is one of the Operating System options provided by our Linux VPS web hosting. You will get a quick, secure and dependable machine with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made through the registration process. You'll also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with other Linux distributions. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your personal sites and to take care of the server as a single very powerful account, or to make multiple accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you wish to start a website hosting reseller business. In case you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, but devoid of the additional software which is usually set up on it, you will be able to order a VPS without Control Panel. This will help you entirely customize the software environment for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we offer with our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you would like to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from a couple of website hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you're able to take care of the whole server like a single account whatever the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can create a separate account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you will receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide regular OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you will not need to devote time and effort downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on your dedicated server.
