Each PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps 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 Operating System. On a server, every single app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This is valid for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

If you decide to purchase one of our virtual private server plans, you will be able to opt for one of the three Linux releases that we offer for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most widespread and most dependable server OSs available on the market and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you wish to install some application with particular requirements regarding the packages that have to be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you may use depends on the OS that you have picked. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always re-install the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing any security updates which may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile packages that will allow you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most dependable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license charges. All three have a large number of developers that have created numerous software packages that you can install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need some other OS subsequently, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with all patches which are released for it.
