CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you will be able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you get the answer to any question or problem you might have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, which is a lot longer than with any other OS. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates that will provide a stable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

You can pick CentOS for your new virtual private server during the sign-up process. We supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions, in order to give you the opportunity to choose the one that is more suitable for the applications that you wish to set up and run. CentOS supports multiple hosting Control Panels, and you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, based on what you would like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain name hosted on your server and even to start your very own reseller business, or to host all your domain names together and control the entire server as a single account. You will also have the choice to purchase the VPS without Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, yet with no extra software that is provided with the Control Panels. This way, you will be able to install web or database servers which are different from the default ones which we supply.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans that we supply, as this Operating System is one of the options that you'll be able to choose during the order process. As the software that you wish to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS works with various hosting Control Panels, and if you get a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can manage the server like you're managing one very large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can have separate accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades weekly and will make sure that your server is safe and has the latest software all the time, in order to ensure the best possible performance for your sites.
