Each and every PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that communicates with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications that are installed on your 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 server, any app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so you will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

If you choose to buy one of our virtual private server packages, you shall be able to choose one of the three Linux distributions which we supply for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most widespread and most reliable server OSs available on the market and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine if you need to install some app with specific requirements with regards to the packages that have to be present on the web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you can use depends on the OS that you've selected. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so if you want to use an application that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always reinstall the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates which may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to pick from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license taxes, but they are also known as the most stable and safe OSs. We provide three different ones for the reason that each one of them is backed by a separate community. The packages that you could add on your web server are different and this could matter in case you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements for the hosting environment. In this light, the internet hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the Operating System that you will select. You can pick any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, yet if necessary, we can always install the server anew with a different one upon your request. As an optional service that you can add to the plan whenever you want, we can update your OS regularly so as to keep it as risk-free as possible.
