An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a PC and works as the intermediary between the installed applications and the hardware, which includes peripherals such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it sends requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the contact is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Similar to a personal computer, hosting servers also have an Operating System which functions as a host for all of the software installed on them, which includes script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and so on. A virtual machine can be created on a physical one, so you'll be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

In case you decide to acquire one of our virtual private server packages, you'll be able to pick one of the three Linux releases which we provide for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most well-known and most reliable server OSs out there and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine if you want to install some application with specific requirements with regards to the packages that have to be present on the web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use depends on the OS that you have chosen. We leave the chance to replace the server Operating System open, so if you want to use an application that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always re-install the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates which may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to give you more flexible packages that will let you install and run any type of web software regardless of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license costs. All three have thousands of developers who have created numerous software packages that you can install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you select when you register. If you need another OS afterwards, 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 updating it every week with any patches which are available for it.
