CentOS
Inform yourself about the CentOS Operating System. Learn why it is the favorite distro of Linux for many web hosting companies.
CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is regarded as one of the most stable and risk-free Operating Systems out there. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you can customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of any of them. It is also free to distribute and use, so you won't 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 more affordable than the price for a server working with another OS. What makes CentOS unique among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you get the reply to any question or problem you may have. Furthermore, each version which is released officially is supported for a decade, which is longer than with any other OS. What this means is regular safety and stability updates that provides a stable software setting for all your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
You can acquire CentOS with each dedicated server that we provide, as 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you can select on our order page. CentOS supports all three hosting Control Panels which we provide, so you're able to choose Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first one is suitable for less experienced users who want a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single large account, whereas the other two Control Panels enable you to set up a variety of website hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you need CentOS without any additional software, you'll be able to pick a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add only the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
