Centos or Debian for Server ?

[beststar]

Hello, what better for hosting server Centos or Debian ?:smash:

And Why you think so ?

 

[Localnode]

CentOS.
Because CentOS can be converted to CloudLinux easily.
If CloudLinux were on the list, I'd choose that.

CL is the best OS for hosting, take a look at the features, and you'd know why.

 

[Hostslayer]

Well CentOS is the best for me.

 

[GouriServ]

Well mate for hosting server Centos is the best.

 

[24x7CSM]

Due to the fact that its CentOS 7 is a multi compatible operating system , +1 for CentOS

 

[24x7server]

CentOS is always best for the hosting server.

 

[First Root]

Ubuntu because of LTS Releases. Not a big fan of CentOS but can't even tell why.

 

[PeteCCS]

Centos because more stable.

 

[hostingcounter]

Centos has a great community of extensions and plugins so this is the best option for hosting.

 

[caygriweb]

after years and years of centos for server I prefer debian it's more stable

 

[ughosting]

If you are hosting multiple tenants then CloudLinux (compatible with CentOS) is best as you can individually tweak the resources available to each user.

 

[Lampard]

None from them, i would suggest you to use Ubuntu.

 

[AbsoluteHosting]

CentOS and Debian both are great reliable operating systems. I personally prefer CentOS.

 

[HostOX]

I prefer CentOS to be honest, all I really use!

 

[robert4u]

Both Centos and Debian is same for me, the difference is only commands, now it totally depend on your self which commands you like more.

Meanwhile I prefer Centos because many control panel run on well on it.

you are aware

CloudLinux is an add-on for cPanel web hosting services that installs a new kernel that helps system administrators to better manage cPanel web hosting users So it is not a standalone OS.

 

[arcinisa]

centos mostly, rarely using debian
most of 3rd party is fit with centos too, instead debian

 

[scanhost]

I use Ubuntu or debian

 

[sxzhost]

Both are good and reliable. Another good question is which of them suits your needs better

I like Debian, but I think most of the web hosting world uses CentOS (or RHEL). If you use what most everyone else uses, you can benefit from other people using the same OS. It may be hard to find help for web hosting issues if you use Debian, since most people do not use it.

I'd probably avoid Ubuntu in a server environment, Ubuntu is more of a desktop operating system. I suppose it can be used in a server environment, but you'd probably be just as well off using Debian in that situation. Ubuntu is based on Debian.
