CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper than the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you may have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary security and stability updates which will provide a stable software environment for all your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in VPS Servers
CentOS is among the Operating System possibilities offered by our VPS hosting plans. You will get a quick, risk-free and reliable machine provided with a 32- or 64-bit OS, depending on the choice that you've made through the signup process. You'll also be able to choose from the Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panels - something, which isn't possible with the other Linux releases. These options will provide you with the opportunity to choose what you would like to do with your VPS - to host your sites and to control the whole server as one very powerful account, or to make many different accounts and give access to others if, for instance, you wish to start a website hosting reseller business. In case you're more experienced and you want a server with CentOS, yet devoid of the additional software that is usually installed on it, you are able to purchase a VPS without Control Panel. This will allow you to entirely customize the software environment for your Internet sites.
