An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a computer and works as the intermediary between all the applications and the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run software, it transmits requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the contact is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Identical to a personal computer, web servers also feature an Operating System that functions as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etc. A virtual machine can be set up on a physical one, so you can install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

We provide as many as 3 different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the safest and the most reliable OSs available on the market and we provide all three of them instead of only one since we realize that you might want to set up some software with specific requirements regarding the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there're various software applications you can install on the web server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you wish to use one and that's why we offer multiple Control Panels as well. Should you decide that you need to have another OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the existing one and set up the one that you would like. We also offer an optional service to have the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible packages that will allow you to install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have a large number of developers that have created countless software packages that you may install and use on your 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 sign up. If you need another OS later, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with any patches which are released for it.
