CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you get the reply to any question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is much longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is routine security and stability updates which will provide a great software environment for all your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
You can obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options which you are able to select on our order page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we offer, so you can choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who want a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a large account, while the other two Control Panels allow you to set up various website hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you need CentOS with no additional software, you are able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
