Every single desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are currently installed on your system. Any program input using 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, each app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes 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 separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so that you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS

We offer three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the safest and the most reliable OSs you can get and we offer all three rather than only one since we realize that you might want to install some software which has specific requirements for the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a vast support community behind it and there're different software programs you could install on the web server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS if you wish to use one and that's why we offer several Control Panels too. In the event you decide that you want some other OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the existing one and set up the one that you need. In addition, we offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile packages which will permit you to install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license costs. All three have numerous developers who have created a huge number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need a different OS later, it will not be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with all patches which are available for it.
