CentOS is short for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the leading Linux distributions for servers and it's recognized as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the program code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any kind of license fees, meaning that the overall price that you'll have to pay for a server making use of CentOS will be much lower than the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, which will help you discover the answer to any question or problem you have. In addition, each version which is released officially is supported for ten years, which is much longer than with any alternative OS. This means regular safety and stability updates which will provide a great 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 plans that we offer, since this Operating System is on the list of options that you can choose during the order process. Since the software that you need to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS works with various web hosting Control Panels, and if you acquire a dedicated server with our Hepsia Control Panel, you can manage the server as if you're controlling a single very large account, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll be able to have independent accounts for the domains which you host and can even start a reseller business, since both the Control Panels feature such a functionality. In case you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS updates on a weekly basis and will ensure that your server is secure and has the latest software at all times, to guarantee the best possible performance for your Internet sites.
