CentOS
Discover why a lot of web hosts go with CentOS as their first pick for a server OS.
CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is much longer than with any other operating system. What this means is frequent safety and stability updates that will provide a great software environment for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting
If you order one of our
virtual private server plans, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System selections on the sign-up page. You can decide to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, determined by the software that you would like to set up later. In contrast to other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to choose Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, along with web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you'd like to have a VPS for a different purpose or if you'd like to have different software on it, you'll be able to order the 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 secure and reliable web hosting service for all of your web sites.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You are able to get CentOS with each
dedicated server that we supply, because 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options which you'll be able to pick on the registration page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we offer, so that you are able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who need a powerful hosting solution, considering that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single large account, while the other two Control Panels will help you create multiple website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you will be able to select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. You can then add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
