CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of any of them. It is 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 need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that 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 a decade, which is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is ordinary security and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
When you acquire one of our virtual private server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System possibilities on the registration page. You're able to decide to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you are able to order your server without any Control Panel and you will obtain 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 web hosting service for your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans that we provide, you can select the CentOS Operating System for your machine. As it's very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the system resources for your website. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels which we provide - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you're able to use the dedicated server for any kind of purpose - to host your personal Internet sites in a single account, to set up separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell website hosting packages to other people. You may also buy a server with no Control Panel and install any custom-made software that you need, in place of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. When you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things which are included in the package.
