CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as one of the most dependable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any 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 will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable than 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 discover the answer to any question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is routine safety and stability updates that provides a great software environment for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you order one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the signup page. You're able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you want to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you're able to order the server with no Control Panel and you will get a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a secure and reliable website hosting service for all of your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we supply, due to the fact that this OS is on the list of options that you can select during the order process. As the software that you want to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS works with various web hosting Control Panels, so if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server like you're managing one large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to have separate accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer such a functionality. When you add the Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS upgrades on a weekly basis and will ensure that your server is safe and it has the most recent software all the time, so as to ensure the best performance for your Internet sites.
