Each PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications 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 Operating System. On a web server, each app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

Our VPS server packages come with three Linux releases that you could pick from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Apart from being cost-free, the OSs are extremely stable and secure and the reason to offer all 3 of them is to ensure that you will be able to run every application that you'd like, since different pieces of software could have different requirements regarding the environment they can be used on. Each one of the three OSs is backed by a large community of web developers who have created many hundreds of software packages which you can install and use on your VPS. Based on the Operating System which you pick, you will also be able to choose between 3 different Control Panels to manage your website hosting content. Also, if you decide that you need a different OS, we could always re-install the server with it. As a paid upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the Operating System for max stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more flexible packages which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have numerous 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 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 some other OS afterwards, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with all patches that are available for it.
