CentOS VPS Hosting on Enterprise NVMe Cloud
VeloxMedia runs CentOS on clustered enterprise infrastructure with distributed replicated NVMe storage and automatic failover. Pick a plan, choose CentOS in the portal, and your server boots with full root access in about 60 seconds. Every VPS includes a dedicated IPv4, unmetered data transfer, and no setup fees, starting at $5 per month.
CentOS has changed, and it pays to know where it stands. CentOS Linux 7 reached end of life on 30 June 2024, and the project now ships as CentOS Stream, the rolling release that sits directly upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you need a fixed, RHEL-compatible base instead, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux install with one click on the same hardware, so you can standardise on the exact rebuild your stack expects.
- CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux, one-click install
- Full root access, servers deploy in about 60 seconds
- Distributed replicated NVMe storage on a clustered platform
- 1 dedicated IPv4 and unmetered data transfer
- Clustered high availability with automatic failover
- From $5/mo, no setup fees, two months free on annual billing
Choose the right CentOS for your workload
CentOS Stream is the current CentOS release. It tracks the code that becomes the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux update, which makes it a strong fit for testing against RHEL, building and validating packages, and running a current kernel. If you need a fixed point release with a long support window instead, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are binary-compatible RHEL rebuilds that drop straight into workflows built for CentOS Linux. Fedora sits further upstream when you want the newest packages. Whichever base you choose, switching is a one-click reinstall in the portal, so moving a retired CentOS Linux 7 or Stream 8 host onto a supported system does not mean changing servers.
What every CentOS VPS includes
Every plan gives you full root access to a real CentOS environment, not a container or restricted shell, so you can compile software, load kernel modules, manage SELinux, and configure dnf repositories exactly as you would on bare metal. Storage is distributed replicated NVMe SSD for fast dnf operations and database I/O. Each server ships with one dedicated IPv4 address and unmetered data transfer, so traffic spikes never carry an overage bill. Deploys complete in about 60 seconds, and a one-click reinstall rebuilds the server from a clean image whenever you want to start over.
Enterprise platform built for uptime
Your CentOS VPS runs on a clustered high-availability platform with automatic failover. Power, network, and storage are fully redundant, and storage is replicated across nodes so there is no single point of failure. When hardware needs maintenance, zero-downtime live migration moves running servers between hosts without a reboot, so patching the platform does not interrupt your services. Enterprise software-defined networking isolates your traffic, and the design targets 99.9% availability.
Manage CentOS from the control panel
The portal gives you complete control without a support ticket. Take snapshots before a kernel update or a major dnf upgrade, and schedule backups you can restore in place. A browser-based console offers VNC and SSH access, so you can log in even when the network configuration is wrong, then switch a broken server into rescue mode to repair it. CPU, memory, and bandwidth graphs show real load over time. You also get reverse DNS control for mail, editable firewall rules, and built-in vulnerability monitoring that flags known issues in your installed packages.
CentOS VPS plans, pricing, and regions
Six plans scale from Micro at 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB NVMe up to Max at 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 200 GB NVMe, with Small, Medium, Plus, and Pro in between. Pricing starts at $5 per month, or $6 in Amsterdam, with no setup fees, and annual billing includes two months free. Deploy CentOS in London, Amsterdam, US East in Ohio, or US West in California today, with Warsaw, Montreal, and Utah coming soon. Checkout is secure hosted card payment, every action runs from the customer portal, and support is available 24/7.
CentOS VPS Hosting on Enterprise NVMe Cloud questions
Can I still run CentOS in 2026?
Yes. CentOS Stream is actively developed and installs with one click. Note that CentOS Linux 7 reached end of life on 30 June 2024 and CentOS Stream 8 ended in May 2024, so if you are still on either, deploy CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux for a base that keeps receiving security updates.
What is the difference between CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux?
CentOS Stream is the rolling release just upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so it gets changes slightly before RHEL. AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are free, binary-compatible rebuilds of RHEL that follow fixed point releases, which most people want for stable production servers. All three use dnf and the same RPM packages, and all three are available here.
Can I migrate a CentOS 7 server to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux?
On a VPS the cleanest path is to deploy a fresh AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux server, one click in the portal, and move your application and data across. Because both are RHEL-compatible, your dnf packages, SELinux policy, and service files carry over with minimal changes. Take a snapshot first so you can roll back if you need to.
Do I get full root access, and how fast can I deploy?
Every CentOS VPS comes with full root access and a dedicated IPv4. Choose your plan, region, and CentOS image in the portal, and the server is ready in about 60 seconds. You can reinstall or rebuild to a different OS at any time from the same panel.
