CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is well known as one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any other OS. What this means is routine security and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for all your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You're able to acquire CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we provide, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options which you will be able to choose on the registration page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we offer, therefore you're able to select Hepsia or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who need a powerful website hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up a number of website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you are able to select a server setup with no Control Panel at all. Then you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
