CentOS is no longer the reigning champ for managed webhosting

  • August 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server is free, isn't subject to the whims of a greedy parent corporation, and just works. Much better software selection than CentOS/RedHat as well. Tremendous community support and inexpensive corporate support if needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has jumped on the Snap bandwagon. I would prefer not running Snap on servers...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For web hosting, Ubuntu server is the most reliable platform for LAMP stack implementation with regular updates and solid 5-year support for LTS versions. You don't have to wait forever for updates to Apache, Nginx, PHP, Python, MariaDB or MySQL. Plenty of repositories to keep those critical packages current, even when Canonical lags, which isn't too often to be honest.

The key benefit is stability, both in terms of the OS and Canonical; the debacle with CentOS changing to a rolling distribution has left more than a few web hosting providers in a bit of a bind...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CentOS Stream will get more frequent updates than plain old CentOS, but no more than a standard Ubuntu LTS install. Control panel software such as cPanel and Plesk don't recommend running on CentOS Stream at this time (both actually push AlmaLinux or CloudLinux). They both don't run 100% on CentOS 8 either, just CentOS 7. Plesk seems to be further along with supporting 20.04 whereas cPanel states it's experimental at this time. Chances are they will both focus more on Ubuntu Server than they have in the past; I've read both companies were absolutely livid with RedHat/IBMs decision to change CentOS and cut support for 8 to 2024 from 2029.

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about using Ubuntu is that it is free to download and is very flexible. It comes with pre-installed tools which make it easy to use. It supports latest graphics, which are appreciable. The app has a secure database as they have built it on Linux architecture. The user base of Ubuntu is very large and has excellent community support. Even with a low hardware set, it works perfectly and conveniently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some software is unavailable in the repository system, and sometimes it is difficult to install the software. Sometimes, the app crashes so the built could have been stronger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu is a fast, reliable, smooth, and lightweight operating system. It is very safe to work with and is customizable. The app is free to use and is of significant benefit since the software cost of my company is limited. It does not need any antivirus software since it is very secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu is very safe to use and can be used by anyone who wants a fast operating system. It is a straightforward and easy-to-use app. Built on Linux architecture, the app has convenient tools to use and is free to use. I recommended you to use Ubuntu if you want a reliable, fast, and secure operating system even with a low hardware set.
