CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is well known as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you are able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server working with some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is routine protection and stability updates that will provide a dependable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we supply with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you can select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the apps that you'd like to set up. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from several web hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to manage the entire server like a single account regardless of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel you can make an individual account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you do not choose any Control Panel, you will receive your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide you with weekly OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't have to invest effort and time downloading and setting up the most recent and most secure software on the dedicated server.
