CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is much longer than with any alternative operating system. This means regular protection 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 one of the Operating System choices provided by our Linux VPS web hosting plans. You'll get an efficient, well-protected and reliable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made during the sign-up process. You may also pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with other Linux releases. These options provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your own Internet sites and to control the whole server as one very powerful account, or to make many different accounts and give access to others if, for example, you wish to start a web hosting reseller business. If you are more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet devoid of the further software which is usually set up on it, you're able to order a VPS without Control Panel. This will help you fully modify the software environment for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You will be able to obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we supply, because 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options which you will be able to select on the order page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we offer, so you're able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful web hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single very large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to make a variety of website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
