CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being one of the most dependable and secure Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or modifying the program code of all of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running another OS. What makes CentOS unique among other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you discover the reply to any question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version that's released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any alternative OS. This means regular safety and stability updates which will provide a stable software setting for all of your web applications in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
You're able to obtain CentOS with each and every dedicated server which we provide, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll be able to select on our registration page. CentOS is compatible with all three hosting Control Panels which we offer, which means that you'll be able to select Hepsia or cPanel to be set up on your server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who need a powerful website hosting solution, because a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like one large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to set up multiple website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the hosting space. If you want CentOS with no additional software, you are able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. Then you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, that features weekly CentOS updates.
