CentOS
Learn more about the CentOS Linux distribution and why it's the OS of choice for a lot of hosting providers.
CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's regarded as being one of the most dependable and risk-free Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you will have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer society, which will help you find the answer to any question or problem you have. What's more, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, that is is longer than with any alternative OS. What this means is routine security and stability updates that provides a stable software environment for your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting
You are able to acquire CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we offer, because 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options which you're able to select on our registration page. CentOS supports all three web hosting Control Panels that we supply, so that you will be able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is appropriate for less experienced users who require a powerful website hosting solution, since a Hepsia-equipped server is managed like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up various hosting accounts on the server and even to resell the web hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. You can then add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
