CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you will be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, which is longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates that provides a stable software setting for your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is one of several Operating System choices provided by our Linux VPS hosting packages. You'll get a fast, risk-free and reliable machine equipped with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the selection that you've made through the sign-up process. You can also choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, that isn't possible with the other Linux releases. These options will provide you with the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your sites and to manage the server as a single very powerful account, or to generate many different accounts and give access to others if, for example, you wish to start a website hosting reseller business. If you are more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, yet with no extra software that's usually installed on it, you can buy a VPS without any Control Panel. This will help you fully customize the software environment for your websites.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you decide to purchase one of the dedicated server plans that we supply, you are able to choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your website. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each and every domain name or even to resell hosting plans to other people. Also, you can acquire a server without a Control Panel and install any custom-made software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we will perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are part of the package.
