CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most reliable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the answer to any question or problem you have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is much longer than with any alternative OS. This means routine protection and stability updates that will provide a great software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we offer with our dedicated server packages. During the signup process, you will be able to select from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the apps that you intend to set up. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between several hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you will be able to take care of the server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domain names that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to generate a different account for each and every domain name, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't select any Control Panel, you will get your server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer you regular OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you will not need to invest effort and time downloading and installing the latest and most protected software on your dedicated server.
