Every single desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that communicates with the hardware equipment, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, as well as 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 and every app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

Our VPS server plans come with three Linux releases which you could pick from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being 100 % free, the OSs are really stable and risk-free and the reason to offer you the three of them is to make sure that you can run any app that you would like, as different pieces of software may have different requirements with regards to the environment they work on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a large community of developers who have developed many hundreds of software packages which you can set up and use on your VPS. Depending on the Operating System that you pick, you will also be able to select between 3 different Control Panels to manage your hosting content. Of course, in case you decide that you need a new OS, we could always reinstall the server with it. As a paid upgrade, we also offer weekly updates of the OS for optimum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible solutions that will enable you to install and run any type of web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most dependable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have numerous developers that have created numerous software packages that you may install and use on your server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. In case you need a new 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 updating it on a weekly basis with any patches that are available for it.
