Each and every desktop or notebook or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, along with any apps that are currently 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 server, each 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 generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so that you can set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

Our VPS server solutions feature three Linux distributions which you could select from for the Operating System of your new hosting server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Apart from being cost-free, the OSs are really stable and secure and the reason to offer all three of them is to ensure that you will be able to run any application that you would like, as different pieces of software have different requirements in terms of the environment they work on. Each one of the three OSs is supported by a huge community of web developers who have created thousands of software packages that you can set up and use on your VPS. In accordance with the Operating System that you choose, you will also be able to choose between 3 different Control Panels to handle your website hosting content. Needless to say, should you decide that you need a different OS, we could always re-install the server with it. As an optional upgrade, we also provide weekly updates of the Operating System for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more flexible plans that will enable you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices 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 costs. All three have thousands of developers that have created numerous software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need another OS afterwards, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches that are available for it.
