In this paper, we construct several infinite families of $q$-ary constacyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with length $n$, dimension around $n/2$, and minimum distance at least $cn/\log_q n$ for some positive constant $c$. They contain many constacyclic codes with optimal, or almost-optimal, or best-known parameters. We also consider constacyclic codes of various lengths.
