CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it is well known as one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you will be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, meaning that the total price that you will need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper 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 find the answer to any question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is much longer than with any other OS. What this means is regular safety and stability updates which provides a stable software setting for your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we offer with all our dedicated server plans. Throughout the signup process, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and ensure that the software environment on your new server matches the specifications of the apps that you intend to install. Compared 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 instance, you are able to take care of the entire server like a single account regardless of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel you are able to create an individual account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. In case you do not select any Control Panel, you'll receive your server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also provide weekly OS updates as part of our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to spend effort and time downloading and installing the most current and most protected software on your dedicated server.
