Every single notebook or desktop or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which interacts with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices 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 server, every single app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard website scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so you can 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 will be able to select one of the three Linux distributions which we provide for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most widespread and most reliable server OSs on the market and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine if you would like to install some application with precise requirements with regards to the packages that must be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use depends on the OS that you have picked. We leave the possibility to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one you already have, we can always re-install the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to give you more flexible packages which will permit you to install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most reliable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have thousands of developers who have created countless software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. In case you need a new OS later on, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with any patches which are available for it.
