CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any alternative operating system. This means frequent protection and stability updates that will provide a stable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

When you order one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the registration page. You are able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, according to the software that you need to install later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you can choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, and so on. When you need a VPS for a different purpose or if you want different software on it, you're able to order the server with no Control Panel and you will acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you will enjoy a safe and reliable hosting service for all of your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you decide to get one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you'll be able to pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal sites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You can also obtain a server devoid of Control Panel and set up any custom software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the package.
