An Operating System is the software which interacts with the hardware of a computer system and works as the intermediary between applications and the hardware, including peripherals such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it sends requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the interaction is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A lot like a personal computer, web hosting servers also feature an Operating System which serves as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etcetera. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast with the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

We provide as many as 3 different Linux releases for the Operating System of our VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the safest and the most reliable OSs out there and we provide all three of them rather than just one since we realize that you may want to set up some software with specific requirements for the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there're various software applications you can install on the server. Your OS choice will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you would like to use one and because of this we offer several Control Panels as well. Should you decide that you want another OS, our tech support can quickly wipe the current one and install the one that you want. In addition, we offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer come with three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more versatile plans which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license costs. All three have lots of developers that have created countless software packages that you can install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need some other 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 updating it every week with any patches which are released for it.
