CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is ordinary safety and stability updates which will provide a reliable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Servers
When you obtain one of our VPS server packages, you will see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the sign-up page. You're able to choose to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of CentOS, depending on the software that you need to install later. In contrast to other Linux distributions, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you will be able to select Hepsia or cPanel, each of which can be installed through the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. If you'd like to have a VPS for another purpose or if you want different software on it, you're able to order your server without any Control Panel and you'll acquire a machine with CentOS and the Apache web server software only. With a CentOS-powered virtual server from us, you'll have a safe and reliable hosting service for all of your web sites.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we offer, due to the fact that this OS is on the list of options which you're able to select during the order process. Since the software that you would like to use may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS works with a variety of hosting Control Panels, and if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you're able to manage the server like you're controlling a single large account, and with cPanel you're able to have different accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is secure and has the most up-to-date software all the time, so as to guarantee the optimum performance for your Internet sites.
