Every single personal computer or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that communicates with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any apps that are present on the system. Any program input using 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, any application runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

Our virtual private server plans feature three Linux releases which you can pick from for the Operating System of your new server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. In addition to being 100 % free, the OSs are very stable and protected and the primary reason to offer all three of them is to ensure that you'll be able to run every application that you'd like, as different pieces of software have different requirements when it comes to the environment they can be used on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a vast community of web developers who have made many hundreds of software packages that you can set up and use on your VPS. In accordance with the Operating System that you pick, you will also be able to select between 3 different Control Panels to handle your web hosting content. Needless to say, should you decide that you need a different OS, we can always reinstall the server with it. As an additional upgrade, we also provide weekly updates of the Operating System for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more flexible solutions which will permit you to install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your 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 fees. All three have a large number of developers who have created a large number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need some other OS afterwards, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with all patches that are available for it.
