CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux distributions for servers and it is well known as one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems available. 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 program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you will have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means routine protection and stability updates that will provide a stable software environment for all of your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we provide with our dedicated server plans. Throughout the registration process, you will be able to pick from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the apps that you intend to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to choose from a couple of website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you're able to manage the server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to generate an individual account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll get your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels will not be installed. We also provide regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you won't need to invest time and effort downloading and setting up the most current and most protected software on the dedicated server.
