An Operating System is the fundamental software which controls a computer. It controls the way the hardware functions, the communication with peripheral devices for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between apps, and the prioritization of apps in case multiple ones run simultaneously. Every program that is installed on a notebook or a desktop operates by sending requests to the OS for different services by using an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS can be done via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the web hosting world, the OS is what runs a web hosting server together with all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application such as a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS that is run on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

We offer you three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the safest and the most reliable OSs on the market and we provide all three of them instead of just one because we realize that you might want to install some software with specific requirements with regards to the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there're various software packages you could install on the web hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS in case you want to use one and for this reason we offer several Control Panels too. In the event you decide that you need to have another OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the existing one and install the one that you want. We also offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems as we want to give you more flexible solutions that will permit you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most stable and safe ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license fees. All three have lots of developers who have created numerous software packages that you can install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet 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 afterwards, 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 all patches that are released for it.
