CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering 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 overall price that you'll need 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 discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, which is longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary protection and stability updates which provides a dependable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with every single VPS server that we provide and you'll be able to select it through the order process from among a few other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you need to install and run, you'll be able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and then your new VPS will be online soon after that. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel and Hepsia. This allows you to choose if you'd like to use the server for your web sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to make various web hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you may also order a VPS with no Control Panel and you will get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but nothing else on it, so that you can install only the software that you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to buy one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you're able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it is very light and efficient, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your website. CentOS supports all of the 3 website hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia and cPanel. This way, you will be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You can also buy a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software that you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the package.
