CentOS
See why a lot of hosting suppliers go with CentOS as their first choose for a server OS.
CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable than the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any other operating system. What this means is regular protection and stability updates that provides a great software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating System solutions offered by our
Linux VPS hosting. You will get an efficient, secure and dependable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, based on the choice that you've made during the sign-up process. You may also choose from the Hepsia and cPanel hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with other Linux releases. These options will give you the opportunity to decide what you would like to do with the VPS - to host your sites and to control the whole server as a very powerful account, or to generate a number of accounts and give access to others if, for example, you wish to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, however with no additional software that's usually installed on it, you'll be able to buy a VPS without Control Panel. This will enable you to completely modify the software environment for your sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we offer with our
dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you'll be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you want to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from various website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to take care of the whole server like just a single account regardless of the number of
domains which you host, while with cPanel you'll be able to make an individual account for each and every domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not pick any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer weekly OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you will not need to devote time and effort downloading and setting up the most recent and most secure software on your dedicated server.
