CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most reliable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is much longer than with any alternative operating system. This means frequent security and stability updates which provides a reliable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you acquire one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the registration page. You'll be able to decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you want to install later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can select Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you will be able to order your server without any Control Panel and you'll obtain a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you will enjoy a safe and reliable hosting service for all your websites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you decide to order one of the dedicated server packages which we offer, you can pick the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Since it's very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all the system resources for your site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we supply - Hepsia and cPanel. Thus, you can use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all of your personal Internet sites in just a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. Also, you can get a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom software which you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we will perform weekly CentOS updates besides the other things which are included in the bundle.
