CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems out there. 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 changing the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with any other OS. This means frequent protection and stability updates that provides a dependable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You will be able to select CentOS for your brand new VPS server throughout the sign-up process. We provide 32-bit and 64-bit releases, so as to give you the option to choose the one which is more suitable for the applications that you want to install and manage. CentOS supports various website hosting Control Panels, so you will have a choice between cPanel and Hepsia, depending on what you intend to do - to set up a separate account for each domain hosted on your server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all your domain names at the same time and manage the entire server as one single account. You will also have the option to order your VPS without any Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, however devoid of the extra software which comes with the Control Panels. This way, you will be able to install web or database servers that are different from the standard ones which we offer.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You are able to acquire CentOS with each dedicated server which we supply, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you are able to pick on our order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels which we offer, which means that you're able to pick Hepsia or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a very large account, while the other two Control Panels will enable you to create numerous hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you are able to choose a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
