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 reliable and risk-free Operating Systems on the market. CentOS is open-source software, which means that you'll be able to customize it in whatever way you see fit, adding and removing packages or updating the program code of all of them. It's also free to distribute and use, so you will not need to pay any license fees, which means that the total price that you'll have to pay for a server running CentOS will be cheaper as compared to the price for a server working with some other 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 might have. What's even more, each version that is released officially is supported for a decade, that is is longer than with any other OS. This means routine security and stability updates that provides a great software environment for all of your web apps in the long run.
CentOS in Dedicated Hosting
If you need a dedicated server with CentOS, you can take advantage of the packages which we supply, since this Operating System is one of the options that you can choose through the registration process. As the software that you intend to run can have specific system requirements, we have 32-bit and 64-bit releases of CentOS. CentOS supports different web hosting Control Panels, which means that if you acquire a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to control the server like you're managing a single large account, while with cPanel you can have individual accounts for the domain names that you host and can even start a reseller business, as both the Control Panels offer this a functionality. If you add our Managed Services upgrade, we'll also perform OS upgrades every week and will make sure that your server is protected and it has the latest software all the time, in order to guarantee the optimum performance for your web sites.
