CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is recognized as one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any other OS. What this means is regular security and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

If you buy one of our VPS server packages, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the sign-up page. You can decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, based on the software that you need to install later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you will be able to order the server without any Control Panel and you'll get 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 website hosting service for your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to obtain CentOS with each dedicated server that we offer, as 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll be able to pick on the registration page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels which we provide, so you're able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on your server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful web hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single very large account, while the other two Control Panels will help you create various hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you can pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that includes weekly CentOS updates.
