Every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, together with any applications 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 web server, each and every app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so that you can set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS

In case you choose to purchase one of our virtual private server plans, you shall be able to opt for one of the three Linux distributions that we supply for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most well-known and most reliable server OSs on the market and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you wish to install some application with specific requirements regarding the packages that should be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you'll be able to use will depend on the OS that you've selected. We leave the possibility to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always reinstall the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates that may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile packages which will permit you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have numerous developers who have created a large number of software packages that you can 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 choose when you register. In case you need a new OS later on, it will not be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with any patches which are available for it.
