CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that is is longer than with any other OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates that will provide a dependable software environment for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Web Hosting

If you acquire one of our virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System options on the registration page. You can decide to set up either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, determined by the software that you need to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, 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 through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you will be able to order your server with no Control Panel and you will obtain 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 hosting service for your Internet sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we provide with all of our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the apps that you intend to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from various website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can manage the whole server like a single account whatever the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to make a different account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you will receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer you regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't need to spend time and effort downloading and setting up the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
