CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is well known as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's more, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is longer than with any other operating system. What this means is routine security and stability updates that will provide a dependable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

CentOS is one of several Operating System solutions offered by our Linux VPS hosting services. You'll get an efficient, secure and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made during the registration process. You will also be able to select from the Hepsia and cPanel hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux releases. These options provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your sites and to maintain the entire server as a single very powerful account, or to generate different accounts and give access to other people if, for example, you intend to start a hosting reseller business. When you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, yet devoid of the additional software that's usually set up on it, you can order a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely modify the software environment for your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the applications that you intend to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from various web hosting Control Panels, depending on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can manage the server like a single account whatever the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel you'll be able to make a separate account for each and every domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't select any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest effort and time downloading and setting up the latest and most secure software on the dedicated server.
