CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to personalize it in any 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 will not need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower than the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, which is longer than with any other OS. What this means is regular safety and stability updates which provides a stable software setting for your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages that we offer, since this Operating System is on the list of options that you are able to select during the registration process. As the software that you want to run may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS works with different web hosting Control Panels, and if you get a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server like you're controlling a single large account, and with cPanel you are able to have separate accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels feature this a functionality. In case you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates weekly and will ensure that your server is protected and has the most up-to-date software at all times, to guarantee the best possible performance for your websites.
