CentOS is short for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux releases for servers and it's well known as one of the most dependable and protected Operating Systems available. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you're able to customize it in any way you see fit, adding and removing packages or altering the code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you won't need to pay any license fees, meaning 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 working with some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you discover the reply to any kind of question or problem you have. What's even more, each version that's released officially is supported for 10 years, that's is longer than with any other operating system. This means frequent protection and stability updates that provides a dependable software environment for your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
If you decide to get one of the dedicated server plans which we provide, you can choose the CentOS Operating System for your machine. Due to the fact that it's very light and fast, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 website hosting Control Panels which we offer - Hepsia and cPanel. Thus, you'll be able to use the dedicated server for any type of purpose - to host your personal websites in a single account, to make separate Control Panels for each domain name or even to resell hosting plans to other people. You may also get a server with no Control Panel and set up any custom-made software that you need, instead of the default apps that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle during the signup process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides all the other things that are part of the bundle.
