An Operating System is the low-level software which controls a computer. It takes care of the way the hardware operates, the communication with peripheral devices like a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between the installed applications, along with the prioritization of applications when several run at once. Any program which is installed on a PC operates by sending requests to the OS for different services using an application program interface (API). The communication with the OS can be achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the web hosting field, the OS is what runs a hosting server and all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but also every other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they employ a guest OS which is run on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

Our VPS server solutions feature three Linux distributions which you could pick from for the Operating System of your new server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Apart from being 100 % free, the OSs are extremely stable and protected and the reason to offer all three of them is to ensure that you can run any app that you would like, because different pieces of software could have different requirements about the environment they can be used on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a huge community of web developers who have made thousands of software packages which you can install and use on your VPS. Based on the Operating System which you select, you will also be able to select between three different Control Panels to take care of your website hosting content. Needless to say, in case you decide that you need another OS, we could always reinstall the server with it. As an additional upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the Operating System for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

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 flexible solutions that will permit you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license fees. All three have lots of developers that have created countless software packages that you may install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three 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 afterwards, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches which are available for it.
