Hi,
I saw there's one "Commercial Support" in "Support" menu on CentOS main page, but it's blank. Actually I'm looking for the commercial support for CentOS, is there anyone or organization which is doing this? Thank you very much.
-- Best regards, Daniel

CentOS is based on RedHat and is kinda RedHat without the proprietry stuff and with community support only AFAIK. However, without RedHat it wouldn't exist. If you need paid for commercial support can i recommend that you purchase a RedHat subscription.
best wishes

Apologies as we are not trying to advertise or SPAM the list.
LinuxIT Europe offers commercial support for most variants of Linux distributions. We have a number of clients who use CentOS that we support from business hours to fully managed.
The main reason we come across is choice. We can offer support packages that are different to the subscriptions and tailored to what the customer needs.
Best regards,
Bill

Daniel: I see this, on the home page of the CentOS web site: "Commercial support is offered via a number of vendors." and when I click on the link, as you wrote, there's nothing there.... If you need to pay someone to help you with a Server, occasionally, and you cannot find someone here on this mailing list, I suggest that you look in the Forums on http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ probably in the Dedicated Server Forum or in the Technical & Security Issues Forum, you will see references to people who are recommended (or not recommended).
You may be in the position where you do not need a Managed Server (costly and may not include the services you need), and where occasional help, to Secure the server or install & configure something is what you need.
Probably you would be in the same position, with RHEL that you are with CentOS. This mailing list is excellent, but, you may need someone with the expertise to SSH into your Server and do the job for you.
If you do not need the resources of a Dedicated Server, or a VDS; Shared Hosting or a Semi Dedicated (Managed) account may be what you need. Keeping a server that is online updated and secure can be a PITA and if it is attacked and taken over by someone else, you will have a much bigger problem. One of my web sites, on Shared Hosting, was attacked, about 7 years ago, and it's nice to have people who do this all day, every day, take care of the problems for you. HTH, Lanny
