CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you find the reply to any question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, which is much longer than with any other OS. This means routine safety and stability updates that provides a dependable software setting for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

CentOS is available with each and every virtual private server that we supply and you can select it during the order process from among a couple of other Operating Systems. Depending on the software that you'd like to install and run, you can choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version and your new VPS will be online shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we supply - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This enables you to choose if you want to employ the server for your very own websites and to control it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate various hosting accounts and resell them to others. Of course, you can also get a VPS without Control Panel and you'll get a server with an OS and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so you can set up only the software that you want for your apps.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you decide to buy one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you can use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. Also, you can obtain a server without a Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the sign-up process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are part of the bundle.
