Every notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which interacts with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are 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 set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you can set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

In case you choose to go for one of our virtual private server plans, you'll be able to pick one of the three Linux releases that we provide for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They are among the most well-known and most reliable server OSs available on the market and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you intend to install some app with particular requirements in terms of the packages that must be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you can use depends on the OS that you have chosen. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an application that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always re-install the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible packages which will enable 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 fees. All three have a large number of developers that have created numerous 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 depends on the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need a different OS subsequently, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with any patches which are available for it.
