CentOS has a highly supportive community that assists in the upkeep and functionality of this successful platform. Because of this activity, CentOS remains throughly up-to-date with the latest updates, patches and add-ons available.

Another bonus of CentOS is that it is fully compatible with Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL). CentOS uses the same Linux kernel and packages that are commonly associated with RHEL’s reliability. In terms of the updates, CentOS uses the long life cycle. This method is much more stable than consistent, fast life cycles as the platform is more stable and less likely prone to security threats sometimes related with the latter.

Running CentOS through our VPS plans makes perfect sense for those looking for a fast, reliable and secure way of managing your server resources. With CentOS, you have the option of working alongside cPanel, giving you that extra amount of control.

A well-known powerhouse for web hosting, CentOS is the choice for many of our customers. As one of the leading OS in terms of security, you can be assured of some of the best firewall features, policy enforcement and tools – such as SELinux – to give you the utmost protection.
