Just about any Linux distribution can be used to host a server, but CentOS and Debian are two of the most popular. If you need a virtual private server hosting or have an interest in a hosting reseller account, choosing the right backbone for your virtual server can help you get the up-time, ease of use, and compatibility you need. Both CentOS VPS and Debian VPS have advantages that may make one or the other perfect for you.
Why Choose CentOS VPS?
When Red Hat stopped producing a community distribution and put it’s support behind Fedora for desktop use and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for commercial support, people looking for a free version of Red Hat’s server operating system turned to CentOS. CentOS VPS maintains the release schedule and compatibility of RHEL to provide customers who don’t want to pay for Red Hat a free alternative. If you run Fedora as a desktop operating system, CentOS is a good choice for keeping the package management and administration style that you are used to. CentOS has one major advantage over Debian: CentOS VPS supports Cpanel and other popular administration software. If you need support for commercial software like Cpanel, you are more likely to find it with CentOS.
Why Choose Debian VPS?
Debian Linux comes from a solid foundation of free software that is known for stability and longevity. Debian created the foundation for popular current Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Knoppix, so if you use a desktop distribution with an APT based package manager, Debian will be a familiar choice that you should be able to use with ease. Because of the long testing period and slow release cycle, Debian VPS is a solid option for anyone who needs a stable foundation and solid up-time.
