CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is much longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is ordinary security and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

You will be able to pick 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 chance to pick the one which will be more suitable for the applications that you'd like to set up and manage. CentOS supports a number of web hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, according to what you wish to do - to make a separate account for every single domain name hosted on your server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all of your domain names at the same time and control the server as a single account. You will also have the choice to obtain your VPS without any Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, however with no extra software which comes with the Control Panels. In this way, you will be able to set up web or database servers that are different from the standard ones that we offer.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You can get CentOS with each dedicated server which we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options which you can pick on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three website hosting Control Panels which we supply, which means that you are able to pick Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful website hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will help you generate multiple website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you'll be able to choose a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
