CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's recognized as being one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or changing the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you find the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, that's is much longer than with any other OS. What this means is regular security and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for all your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems that we supply with our dedicated server packages. Throughout the registration process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server matches the requirements of the apps that you want to install. Compared to other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose from various web hosting Control Panels, according to what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you will be able to manage the server like an individual account irrespective of the number of domain names which you host, while with cPanel you will be able to make a separate account for each domain, that can give you the opportunity to start a web hosting reseller business. If you don't pick 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 offer you weekly OS updates included in our Managed Services package, so you won't need to devote effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on the dedicated server.
