Each notebook or desktop or web 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 applications that are 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 Operating System. On a web server, any app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

Our virtual private server packages feature three Linux releases which you could select from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Apart from being cost-free, the OSs are very stable and secure and the main reason to offer you the 3 of them is to make sure that you will be able to run any kind of application that you'd like, as different pieces of software have different requirements in terms of the environment they work on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a huge community of developers who have made thousands of software packages that you can install and use on your VPS. Depending on the Operating System that you select, you will also be able to choose between three different Control Panels to control your website hosting content. Needless to say, in case you decide that you need some other OS, we can always reinstall the server with it. As a paid upgrade, we also offer weekly updates of the OS for optimum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile packages that will enable you to install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license costs. All three have a large number of developers who have created a large number of software packages that you could install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need another OS later, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with any patches that are released for it.
