CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it is regarded as one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not need 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 than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, that will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative operating system. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you obtain one of our VPS server plans, 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, determined by the software that you wish to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different website hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etc. If you'd like to have a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you can 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 will enjoy a protected and reliable hosting service for all of your Internet sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, because this Operating System is on the list of options which you can choose through the registration process. Since the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports a number of website hosting Control Panels, so if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you can manage the server like you're managing one very large account, while with cPanel you will be able to have individual accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer this a functionality. In case you add the Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS upgrades on a weekly basis and will make sure that your server is safe and it has the latest software all the time, to guarantee the optimum performance for your sites.
