Each notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which interacts with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, and any apps that are installed on your system. Any program input using a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is processed by sending an Application Program Interface (API) request to the OS. On a server, each application runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software like a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS

In case you decide to buy one of our virtual private server plans, you will be able to select one of the three Linux distributions that we provide for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They are among the most popular and most stable server OSs available and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you need to install some app with particular requirements in terms of the packages that should be present on the web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use will depend on the OS that you've selected. We leave the chance to replace the server Operating System open, so if you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always reinstall the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile plans which will enable you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license charges. All three have lots of developers who have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. If you need another OS later on, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with all patches that are released for it.
