CentOS is amongst the most widely used Linux-based server Operating Systems on the market. It's preferred by a lot of web hosting providers, because it's very stable, secure and reliable, not to mention that it is freely customizable, since it is an open-source OS. CentOS is used for production servers, because it's also very fast and takes minimal system resources. What's more, you'll be able to set up and run any web app, as long as it can run on a Linux machine. If you use a CentOS-powered server, you're able to update any part of your Operating System in accordance with your needs. The fact that CentOS is absolutely free does mean that you'll have to pay only for your server, and not for any sort of license fees, that will decrease your overall expenses. A huge group of developers and users is behind CentOS, therefore if you ever have any problems, or you are simply not sure how to perform a specific task, you can discover a solution right away. An important advantage of the OS is also the fact that each version is officially supported and updated for a minimum of 10 years, so you'll always have a secure and reliable software environment.
