CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it's well known as one of the most stable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the code of any of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux releases is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the answer to any kind of question or problem you might have. What's even more, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is a lot longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is frequent protection and stability updates which provides a great software environment for all your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
When you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we offer, due to the fact that this OS is one of the options that you'll be able to choose during the order process. Since the software that you want to use may have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a number of hosting Control Panels, so if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to manage the server like you're controlling one very large account, and with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you can have distinct accounts for the domain names which you host and can even start a reseller business, since the two Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add the Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will make sure that your server is protected and it has the most recent software at all times, so as to guarantee the optimum performance for your web sites.
