Every single PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which interacts with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, together with any apps that are installed on the 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 Operating System. On a server, each application runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you choose to acquire one of our VPS server plans, you'll be able to select one of the three Linux distributions which we offer for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most preferred and most stable server OSs available and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you need to install some app with particular requirements with regards to the packages that have to be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use depends on the OS that you have picked. We leave the chance to replace the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an application that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always re-install the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing all of the security updates that may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as 3 different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile plans which will permit you to install and run any type of web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most reliable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have a large number of developers who have created countless software packages that you could install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you register. In case you need a new OS afterwards, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with any patches which are released for it.
