Every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that communicates with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, along with any applications that are 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 application runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

Our virtual private server packages feature three Linux distributions which you can select from for the Operating System of your new hosting server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. In addition to being free, the OSs are very stable and protected and the main reason to offer all 3 of them is to ensure that you can run any application that you would like, as different pieces of software may have different requirements in terms of the environment they can be used on. Each one of the three OSs is backed by a large community of web developers who have made thousands of software packages which you can set up and use on your VPS. In accordance with the Operating System which you choose, 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 another OS, we can always reinstall the server with it. As an additional upgrade, we also offer weekly updates of the Operating System for optimum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to select from. They are all Linux distributions - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they’re also regarded as the most reliable and safe OSs. We supply three different ones for the reason that each one of them is supported by a different community. The packages which you could add on your hosting server are different and this may matter if 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 OS that you will choose. You can choose any of the three Operating Systems during the order process, yet if necessary, we can always install the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an additional service that you can add to the plan at any moment, we can update your OS on a regular basis so as to keep it as secure as possible.
