CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as one of the most reliable and protected Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, which is a lot longer than with any other operating system. This means frequent protection and stability updates which provides a reliable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, due to the fact that this Operating System is on the list of options that you're able to select through the registration process. As the software that you would like to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a variety of website hosting Control Panels, which means that if you obtain a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server like you're controlling one large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to have distinct accounts for the domains that you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels offer such a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates every week and will ensure that your server is protected and has the latest software at all times, so as to guarantee the best performance for your websites.
