CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is well known as being one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the answer to any question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. This means routine protection and stability updates which provides a dependable software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Servers

CentOS is available with each and every VPS server that we offer and you will be able to select it during the order process from among several other Operating Systems. Determined by the software which you would like to install and run, you're able to select between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version then your new VPS will be online shortly after that. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels that we provide - cPanel, DirectAdmin and Hepsia. This will allow you to choose if you'd like to use the server for your own Internet sites and to manage it as a single large account, or if you want to be able to generate numerous website hosting accounts and eventually resell them to other people. Of course, you can also acquire a VPS with no Control Panel and you'll get a server with an Operating System and the Apache web server software, but no other thing on it, so that you can set up just the software that you need for your applications.

When you decide to obtain one of the dedicated server packages that we provide, you're able to select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all of the 3 web hosting Control Panels that we offer - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Thus, you are able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host all your personal websites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell website hosting plans to other people. Also, you can acquire a server without a Control Panel and install any custom software that you need, in place of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel.
