An Operating System is the fundamental software which manages a computer system. It takes care of the way the hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals including a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between the installed applications, along with the prioritization of apps in case several run simultaneously. Each program which is installed on a desktop or a notebook operates by sending requests to the OS for various services via an application program interface (API). The communication with the OS can be achieved via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting field, the Operating System is what commands a web server and all the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition any other application for example a VOIP or a game server. When there're virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

We offer you as many as 3 different Linux releases for the Operating System of our VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the safest and the most reliable OSs on the market and we offer all three instead of just 1 since we realize that you may want to set up some software which has specific requirements with regards to 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 are different software packages you can install on the web hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you want to use one and for that reason we offer multiple Control Panels too. In the event you decide that you need to have another OS, our tech support can quickly wipe the current one and set up the one that you need. In addition, we offer an optional service to keep 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 give you more flexible solutions which will permit you to install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have thousands of developers who have created countless software packages that you may install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. If you need a new OS afterwards, it will not be a problem because 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.
