FreeBSD dedicated server Security

Despite some impeccable benefits, one can protect the vital concern of systems security by installing FreeBSD. The security provisions imparted through a FreeBSD dedicated server are effectively dealt with CERT, a leading computer security organization. To read up more on Unix Security follow the link.

User-friendly Software Management

FreeBSD offers simplified software management. The ports collection of a FreeBSD server simplifies the traditional option of turning software by automating and documenting the install, uninstall and configuration process for various software packages, which makes the task of software management very user-friendly.

Optimized Upgradation: Installing FreeBSD gives an advantage of going through an optimized process, if upgradation of a FreeBSD server is required at a later stage. One needs not be afraid of any kind of risk unlike during the upgradation of Windows operating system. FreeBSD’s simplified upgrade process maintains the compatibility of the operating system with hardware and applications by rebuilding the system for any particular hardware as required.

Secure and advanced Filesystem: A FreeBSD dedicated server includes a very sophisticated and secure filesystem that supports files up to a petabyte in size. One petabyte is equal to one thousand-thousand gigabytes or 1000 terabytes. The filesystem of a FreeBSD server offers high resistance to any kind of damage for stored information and the files can be read and written with extreme pace.

Customization: Similar to other free software distributions, installing FreeBSD provides customization for special application-based projects as the FreeBSD source code is available unlike for other operating systems from commercial vendors. Best of all there are a lot of good forums like ours that help out anyone who has a server customization issue.

Freely Distributed Versions: Like many opensource Operating System projects FreeBSD is available for free download form various mirror ftp sites around the world and also through the use of Bitorrent. I recently downloaded the latest version for a i386 DELL dual CPU Server install and I downloaded all of the i386 packages that totaled over 4 gigabytes of data in less than 5 hours and all for free.
