Every desktop or notebook or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, along with any apps that are currently installed 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 OS. On a web server, each app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, so that you will be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you decide to acquire one of our VPS server plans, you shall be able to choose one of the three Linux releases that we offer for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They are among the most widespread and most reliable server OSs out there and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you would like to install some app with precise requirements with regards to the packages that should be present on the web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you may use will depend on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so if you want to use an application that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always re-install the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing all of the security updates that may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible solutions that will let you install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have a large number of developers that have created numerous software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you select when you sign up. If you need a different OS subsequently, 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 all patches that are available for it.
