Each and every PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications that are present 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 Operating System. On a server, each and every application runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so you can set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

We offer you as many as 3 different Linux distributions for the Operating System of our VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the most stable and reliable OSs available on the market and we offer all 3 rather than just one since we realize that you may want to set up some software which has specific requirements for the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a vast support community behind it and there're various software packages you can install on the web server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS in case you wish to use one and for that reason we offer multiple Control Panels too. Should you decide that you need to have some other OS, our tech support can quickly wipe the present one and set up the one that you would like. In addition, we offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more versatile plans which will enable you to install and run any type of web software regardless of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most dependable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license charges. All three have thousands of developers who have created numerous software packages that you could install and use on your web 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 register. In case you need a different OS subsequently, it won't be a problem since we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches which are released for it.
