Each personal computer or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that communicates with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications that are currently 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 website scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS

We provide as many as three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the safest and the most reliable OSs you can find and we provide all 3 instead of only 1 because we realize that you may want to install some software which has specific requirements for the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a vast support community behind it and there are different software packages you may install on the web hosting server. Your OS choice will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS if you would like to use one and that's why we offer several Control Panels as well. In case 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 Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile packages which will permit you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have thousands of developers that have created a large number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need another OS later, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with all patches that are available for it.
