An Operating System is the low-level software that controls a PC. It takes care of how the hardware operates, the communication with peripheral devices including a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between the installed applications, as well as the prioritization of apps if several run at once. Each and every program which is installed on a computer system operates by sending requests to the OS for different services using an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the web hosting world, the OS is what controls a server as well as all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but also every other application such as a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they employ a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

We offer as many as 3 different Linux releases for the Operating System of our VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the most stable and reliable OSs out there and we supply all 3 rather than just one because we realize that you may want to set up some software which has specific requirements regarding 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're various software programs you may install on the web hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS in case you would like to use one and because of this we offer several Control Panels too. In the event you decide that you want another OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the existing one and set up the one that you want. In addition, we offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to offer you more flexible packages which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license costs. All three have numerous developers who have created numerous software packages that you could install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need a new OS subsequently, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with any patches which are released for it.
