CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you find the answer to any question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is ordinary security and stability updates which will provide a great software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

You can select CentOS for your brand new virtual private server throughout the signup process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions, so as to give you the option to pick the one which is more suitable for the apps that you'd like to install and work with. CentOS supports various website hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, according to what you would like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain hosted on your server and even to start your own reseller business, or to host all your domains together and manage the whole server as one single account. You'll also have the choice to get the VPS without any Control Panel if you need a machine with CentOS, but devoid of the extra software that comes with the Control Panels. This way, you can install web or database servers that are different from the standard ones which we supply.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You are able to obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we provide, because 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options which you'll be able to pick on the order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we provide, therefore you're able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who need a powerful hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels allow you to set up various web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you are able to choose a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
