CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of any of them. It's 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 much lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you get the answer to any question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any alternative OS. This means frequent safety and stability updates that provides a stable software setting for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is among the Operating System choices offered by our VPS hosting plans. You'll get a fast, secure and dependable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made through the signup process. You will also be able to choose from the Hepsia and cPanel web hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with other Linux distributions. These options will give you the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your websites and to manage the entire server as a very powerful account, or to make multiple accounts and give access to other people if, for instance, you want to start a web hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, yet devoid of the extra software that's usually installed on it, you are able to purchase a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to fully modify the software environment for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, since this OS is on the list of options that you're able to choose through the order process. Since the software that you wish to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with various hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server as if you're controlling a single very large account, and with cPanel you'll be able to have separate accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, as both the Control Panels offer such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and it has the most up-to-date software all the time, to ensure the optimum performance for your websites.
