Every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which interacts with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications that are 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 OS. On a web server, any app runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

If you choose one of our virtual private server plans, you will have as many as three different Operating Systems to pick from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They are all Linux releases and we offer them rather than offering just a single OS, because the apps that you may want to run on the server could have specific requirements regarding the software environment. Each one of these three has some pros in terms of the available packages that you may later install, but what is common between them is that they're really stable and dependable and have large communities which support them. The internet hosting Control Panel options for the VPS accounts depend on your OS choice, so as to give you more flexibility. If you order the virtual server with one OS and you need another one later, our tech support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in a matter of minutes. We also offer you the option to maintain the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to offer you more flexible packages which will allow you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license costs. All three have thousands of developers who have created numerous software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web 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. In case you need another OS afterwards, it won't be a problem as 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 all patches that are available for it.
