An Operating System is the fundamental software that controls a computer. It takes care of the way the hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals such as a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between your applications, plus the prioritization of apps when multiple ones run at once. Every program which is installed on a desktop or a laptop functions by sending requests to the OS for various services by using an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting field, the Operating System is what commands a server as well as any software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application such as a VOIP or a game server. When there're virtual machines created, they use a guest OS which is run on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

Our virtual private server packages feature three Linux distributions that you could choose from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being free, the OSs are very stable and risk-free and the main reason to offer you all three of them is to make sure that you will be able to run any kind of app that you would like, because different pieces of software have different requirements for the environment they can be used on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a huge community of developers who have generated thousands 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 three different Control Panels to take care of your hosting content. Needless to say, if you decide that you need some other OS, we could always re-install the server with it. As a paid upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the OS for optimum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with as many as three different Operating Systems as we want to give you more versatile packages which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software regardless of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license fees. All three have numerous developers who have created numerous software packages that you may install and use on your web hosting 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 register. If you need a new OS later, 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 updating it every week with any patches that are released for it.
