Each PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, along with any applications that are present on the 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 server, each and every app runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard website scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so that you can set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you pick one of our VPS server packages, you will have as many as 3 different Operating Systems to pick from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They're all Linux releases and we offer them rather than offering just a single OS, because the apps that you may wish to run on the server could have specific requirements regarding the software environment. Each of these three has some advantages with regard to the available plans that you could later on install, but what's common between them is the fact that they are really stable and reliable and have vast communities that support them. The internet hosting Control Panel options for the VPS accounts depend on your OS choice, so as to give you more flexibility. When you order the virtual server with one OS and you need another one later, our technical support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in a matter of minutes. We also offer the option to maintain the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile solutions that will permit you to install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most dependable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license fees. All three have numerous developers that have created numerous software packages that you could install and use on your web server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need another OS subsequently, it will not be a problem because 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 all patches that are released for it.
