CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is much longer than with any other operating system. This means routine protection and stability updates that will provide a reliable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you purchase one of our VPS server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the sign-up page. You'll be able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you intend to set up later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. When you'd like to have a VPS for another purpose or if you want different software on it, you can order the server without any Control Panel and you will get 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 website hosting service for all your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you'll be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server will meet the specifications of the apps that you'd like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from various website hosting Control Panels, determined by what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you are able to control the whole server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make an individual account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you'll receive the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also supply regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you won't have to spend time and effort downloading and installing the most up-to-date and most secure software on your dedicated server.
