Every single notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, together with any apps that are 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 web server, any application runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

If you pick one of our VPS server solutions, you will have 3 different Operating Systems to select from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They are all Linux releases and we offer them instead of offering just one OS, as the applications that you might choose to run on the server may have specific requirements regarding the software environment. Each one of these three has certain advantages with regard to the available plans that you could eventually install, but what is common between them is the fact that they're really stable and dependable and have large communities that support them. The internet hosting Control Panel options for the VPS accounts depend on your Operating System choice, in order to provide you with more flexibility. When you order the virtual server with one OS and you need a different one later, our technical support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in just a few minutes. We also offer the option to maintain the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems as we want to offer you more versatile packages which will permit you to install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license fees. All three have numerous developers that have created countless software packages that you may install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need another OS afterwards, it won't be a problem since 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 any patches that are available for it.
