CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise Operating System. This is one of the best Linux releases for servers and it's regarded as one of the most stable and safe Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, so you're able to personalize it in whatever 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 will not need to pay any kind of license fees, which means that the total price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be much lower as compared to the price for a server running some other OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux distributions is its huge developer community, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you have. What's more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that's is much longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is regular safety and stability updates that will provide a stable software setting for your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Hosting

If you decide to acquire one of the dedicated server plans which we offer, you'll be able to select the CentOS Operating System for your new machine. As it is very light and quick, you will be able to utilize all of the resources for your Internet site. CentOS supports all 3 hosting Control Panels that we supply - Hepsia and cPanel. In this way, you're able to use the dedicated server for any purpose - to host all of your personal sites in just a single account, to create separate Control Panels for each domain or even to resell web hosting plans to other people. You can also purchase a server with no Control Panel and install any custom software which you need, instead of the default applications that we install on each machine that is ordered with a Control Panel. If you add our optional Managed Services bundle throughout the registration process or at any later time, we'll perform regular CentOS updates besides the other things that are included in the package.
