Every notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that interacts with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are installed on the system. Any program input using 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 and every app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case 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 will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

Our VPS server packages feature three Linux releases that you could pick from for the Operating System of your new hosting server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being cost-free, the OSs are really stable and secure and the reason to offer all 3 of them is to make sure 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 developers who have produced many hundreds of software packages which you can set up and use on your VPS. In accordance with the Operating System that you select, you will also be able to choose between 3 different Control Panels to handle your website hosting content. Needless to say, if you decide that you need another OS, we can always reinstall the server with it. As an additional upgrade, we also offer weekly updates of the Operating System for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible plans that will let you install and run any type of web software regardless of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most dependable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license costs. 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 choose when you sign up. In case you need another OS later, 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 any patches which are released for it.
