An Operating System is the software which interacts with the hardware of a PC and works as the intermediary between the installed applications and the hardware, which includes peripherals such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it transfers requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A lot like a personal computer, web servers also feature an Operating System which serves as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and so on. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you can install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

We offer you as many as 3 different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the most stable and reliable OSs available and we offer all three instead of only 1 since we realize that you might want to set up some software that has specific requirements regarding the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there are various software programs you can install on the web hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS if you would like to use one and that is why we offer multiple Control Panels too. If you ever decide that you want another OS, our tech support can quickly wipe the current one and install the one that you want. We also offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to pick from. They are all Linux distributions - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license taxes, but they are also known as the most dependable and risk-free OSs. We offer three different ones for the reason that each one of them is backed by a different community. The packages that you can add on your web server are different and this could matter if you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements for the hosting environment. In this light, the web hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the OS that you will select. You can pick any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, but if needed, we can always install the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an additional service that you can add to the package at any moment, we can update the OS regularly so as to keep it as secure as possible.
