Every PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which interacts with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any apps that are installed on your 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 OS. On a server, each app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you will be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

We offer you three different Linux distributions for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the most stable and reliable OSs available on the market and we offer all 3 rather than just one as we realize that you may want to install some software that has specific requirements for the Operating System it will run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there are different software applications you may install on the web server. Your OS choice will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you wish to use one and because of this we offer multiple Control Panels too. In case you decide that you need to have some other OS, our tech support team can quickly wipe the present one and set up the one that you want. We also offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile packages which will enable you to install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. The 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 license fees. All three have thousands of developers who have created numerous 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 depends on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need a new OS afterwards, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches that are released for it.
