CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever 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, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any alternative OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which provides a dependable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Web Hosting
If you buy one of our virtual private server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the sign-up page. You are able to choose to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, depending on the software that you wish to set up later. Unlike other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you'll be able to choose 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 some other purpose or if you want different software on it, you'll be able to order your 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 our company, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable web hosting service for all your sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You're able to obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we offer, because 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you will be able to choose on the registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three web hosting Control Panels that we offer, so you are able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on the server. The first one is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful web hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to make a variety of web hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you are able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
