CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating 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 overall price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you get the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any alternative OS. This means ordinary safety and stability updates that provides a dependable software environment for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in VPS Hosting

If you buy one of our virtual private server plans, you'll see CentOS as one of the Operating System choices on the signup page. You'll be able to choose to run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of CentOS, based on the software that you wish to set up later. Unlike other Linux releases, CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels as well, so you can pick Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, each of which can be installed during the VPS creation, as well as web server software, MySQL server software, etcetera. When you need a VPS for some other purpose or if you'd like to install different software on it, you can 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'll enjoy a secure and reliable web hosting service for all your web sites.
