CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most reliable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you may have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is a lot longer than with any other OS. This means frequent safety and stability updates which provides a reliable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
If you get one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the registration page. You are able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, depending on the software that you intend to set up later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you can order the server with no Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from our company, you'll enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for all of your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You will be able to acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options which you are able to pick on the registration page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply, so you will be able to choose Hepsia or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a large account, whereas the other two Control Panels allow you to make various website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you can select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
