An Operating System is the software that interacts with the hardware of a computer system and is the intermediary between apps and the hardware, including peripherals such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it sends requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Similar to a personal computer, hosting servers also have an Operating System that functions as a host for any software installed on them, including script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and many others. A virtual machine can be created on a physical one, so you will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you decide to acquire one of our VPS server packages, you shall be able to pick one of the three Linux distributions which we provide for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most preferred and most stable server OSs available on the market and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you would like to install some app with specific requirements regarding the packages that have to be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you may use will depend on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the option to change the server Operating System open, so if you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always reinstall the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more flexible packages that will enable you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most reliable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license charges. All three have thousands of developers that have created countless software packages that you could 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 register. In case you need a new OS later, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with all patches that are released for it.
