CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to customize it in whatever 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 will not need to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is routine protection and stability updates that will provide a stable software environment for all your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating System solutions provided by our Linux VPS web hosting packages. You'll get an efficient, secure and reliable machine using a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the selection that you've made during the sign-up process. You'll also be able to pick from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that is not possible with the other Linux releases. These options will give you the opportunity to choose what you'd like to do with your VPS - to host your personal websites and to control the server as a single very powerful account, or to set up various accounts and give access to others if, for instance, you want to start a website hosting reseller business. When you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, but with no additional software that is usually set up on it, you're able to get a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you entirely modify the software environment for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You will be able to obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we provide, because 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll be able to choose on our order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels that we offer, therefore you're able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to create various website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you're able to pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
