CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. This means ordinary protection and stability updates that provides a reliable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
You can pick CentOS for your new virtual private server throughout the registration process. We offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions, in order to give you the opportunity to select the one that is more suitable for the applications that you wish to install and work with. CentOS supports a number of hosting Control Panels, so that you will have a choice between cPanel, Hepsia and DirectAdmin, depending on what you would like to do - to make a separate account for every single domain name hosted on the server and even to start your reseller business, or to host all of your domain names together and manage the whole server as one single account. You will also have the choice to buy the VPS without any Control Panel in case you need a machine with CentOS, yet devoid of the extra software that comes with the Control Panels. This way, you can install web or database servers which are different from the default ones that we offer.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server plans. During the sign-up process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the apps that you intend to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to select from various hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to take care of the entire server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will be able to make a different account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you do not choose any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote time and effort downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
