Each and every PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, as well as any applications that are currently 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 OS. On a server, each and every application runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you will be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

We offer as many as three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the most stable and reliable OSs you can get and we supply all three instead of only 1 as we realize that you may want to install some software that has specific requirements for the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there are different software applications you could install on the hosting server. Your OS choice will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS in case you would like to use one and that is why we offer multiple Control Panels too. Should you decide that you need to have a different OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the current one and set up the one that you'd like. In addition, we offer an optional service to have the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more versatile solutions which will let you install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have thousands of developers who have created a huge number of software packages that you could install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need a new OS afterwards, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches that are available for it.
