CentOS
See why many web hosts go with CentOS as their first choose for a hosting server Operating System.
CentOS is one of the most sought after Linux-based server Operating Systems on the market. It is employed by a lot of website hosting suppliers, because it is very stable, reliable and secure, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it is an open-source Operating System. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very quick and takes minimal resources. On top of that, you'll be able to set up and run any kind of web app, provided that it can operate on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you will be able to customize any part of your Operating System according to your requirements. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free also means that you will need to pay only for your server, and not for any kind of license fees, which will minimize your overall expenses. A large team of developers and users stands behind CentOS, so that if you ever experience any problems, or you are simply unsure how to perform a particular task, you will be able to find a solution right away. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that every single version is officially supported and updated for at least 10 years, so that you'll always have a secure and stable software environment.
