CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most reliable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that is is much longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is routine safety and stability updates that provides a great software environment for your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
When you buy one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You will be able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you would like to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you can order the server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll enjoy a secure and reliable website hosting service for all of your Internet sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You'll be able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server which we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you can select on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three website hosting Control Panels which we offer, so that you'll be able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who want a powerful website hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a large account, while the other two Control Panels will enable you to generate various hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you can choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
