CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need 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 releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that's is longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is regular protection and stability updates that will provide a dependable software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

When you get one of our VPS server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the sign-up page. You'll be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, depending on the software that you wish to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed throughout the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you're 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 web hosting service for all of your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, since this Operating System is one of the options that you can choose through the registration process. Since the software that you need to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with various website hosting Control Panels, so if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to manage the server as if you're managing one very large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can have independent accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will ensure that your server is safe and it has the most up-to-date software all the time, so as to ensure the best possible performance for your web sites.
