CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it is well known as being one of the most stable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you will be able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you will need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be more affordable as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any question or problem you have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for 10 years, that is is a lot longer than with any other operating system. What this means is frequent protection and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Servers

CentOS is among the Operating Systems which we supply with our dedicated server packages. During the signup process, you will be able to choose between the 32-bit and the 64-bit release of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the requirements of the apps that you wish to install. In contrast to other Operating Systems, CentOS will also allow you to pick from several hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for instance, you can take care of the entire server like just a single account regardless of the number of domains that you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to generate a different account for each domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't choose any Control Panel, you will get the server with CentOS only, since the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer regular OS updates included in our own Managed Services package, so you will not need to devote effort and time downloading and installing the most recent and most protected software on the dedicated server.
