CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most reliable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you are able to personalize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying 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, meaning that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with an alternative OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, which will help you get the reply to any kind of question or problem you may have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that's is a lot longer than with any other OS. What this means is routine safety and stability updates that will provide a stable software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the plans which we supply, since this OS is on the list of options which you will be able to select through the registration process. Since the software that you intend to use can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CentOS. CentOS is compatible with a variety of web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to control the server as if you're managing a single large account, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you are able to have separate accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, as the two Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we will also perform OS updates weekly and will make sure that your server is secure and has the latest software at all times, so as to guarantee the best possible performance for your web sites.
