CentOS is an abbreviation for Community Enterprise OS. This is one of the top Linux distributions for servers and it is recognized as being 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 any 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 have to pay any license fees, which means that the overall price that you'll need to pay for a server running CentOS will be lower as compared to the price for a server running an alternative OS. What makes CentOS stand out among various other Linux releases is its huge developer society, that will help you find the answer to any kind of question or problem you may have. What's more, each version that's released officially is supported for a decade, that's is longer than with any alternative operating system. What this means is frequent security and stability updates that provides a reliable software environment for all your web applications in the long run.

CentOS in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to get CentOS with each and every dedicated server that we supply, since 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options which you're able to pick on our registration page. CentOS supports all three website hosting Control Panels that we supply, therefore you'll be able to select Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel to be installed on the server. The first is suitable for less experienced users who require a powerful web hosting solution, due to the fact that a Hepsia-equipped server is controlled like a single very large account, whereas the other two Control Panels will enable you to set up multiple web hosting accounts on your server and even to resell the website hosting space. If you want CentOS without any additional software, you will be able to select a server setup without Control Panel at all. After that you can add just the software that you need. We also offer a Managed Services upgrade, which includes weekly CentOS updates.
