Each and every PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, along with any apps that are installed on your system. Any program input through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is processed by sending an Application Program Interface (API) request to the OS. On a web server, each application runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This is valid for both standard site scripts and server-side software like a media server. When a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

If you choose to go for one of our virtual private server packages, you will be able to select one of the three Linux releases which we offer for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most preferred and most dependable server OSs out there and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you wish to install some app with particular requirements regarding the packages that have to be present on the server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you'll be able to use will depend on the OS that you have picked. We leave the possibility to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one you already have, we can always reinstall the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing any security updates that may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more flexible packages that will permit you to install and run any type of web software irrespective of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have lots of developers who have created a huge number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need another OS later, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches which are released for it.
