CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in any 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 kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. In addition, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any other operating system. This means ordinary safety and stability updates which provides a stable software setting for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems which we offer with our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you can pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server will meet the requirements of the applications that you would like to install. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to select from several hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can take care of the entire server like just a single account whatever the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel you'll be able to create an individual account for each domain name, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not pick any Control Panel, you will receive your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also offer you regular OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not have to invest effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most secure software on your dedicated server.
