CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is longer than with any other OS. This means regular security and stability updates which will provide a reliable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS

CentOS is one of the Operating System choices provided by our Linux VPS services. You will get an efficient, well-protected and reliable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made through the sign-up process. You will also be able to choose from the Hepsia and cPanel web hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux distributions. These options provide you with the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your personal websites and to take care of the server as one very powerful account, or to generate many different accounts and provide access to other people if, for instance, you want to start a hosting reseller business. If you're more experienced and you need a server with CentOS, yet with no extra software which is usually set up on it, you are able to purchase a VPS without any Control Panel. This will enable you to fully customize the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, because this OS is on the list of options that you are able to pick during the order process. As the software that you need to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS works with different web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can manage the server as if you're controlling a single large account, while with cPanel you're able to have separate accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature this a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates every week and will ensure that your server is secure and has the most up-to-date software at all times, so as to guarantee the best performance for your sites.
