CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most reliable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means regular protection and stability updates which will provide a great software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

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

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

You're able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options which you can choose on our registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels which we offer, therefore you are able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like one very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to make a variety of website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can choose a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
