CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize 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 license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that's is longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is regular security and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

If you order one of our virtual private server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the sign-up page. You will be able to decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you need to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you'll be able to order your server without Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you're able to select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. Due to the fact that it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for virtually any purpose - to host all your personal sites in a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You may also purchase a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the bundle.
