Every notebook or desktop or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any applications 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, every single application runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

Our virtual private server plans come with three Linux distributions which you can pick from for the Operating System of your new hosting server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being cost-free, the OSs are very stable and risk-free and the reason to offer all 3 of them is to ensure that you will be able to run any app that you'd like, since different pieces of software have different requirements about the environment they can be used on. Each of the three OSs is supported by a vast community of developers who have developed many hundreds of software packages that you can install and use on your VPS. Depending on the Operating System that you select, you will also be able to select between 3 different Control Panels to handle your hosting content. Also, if you decide that you need a new OS, we could always re-install the server with it. As an additional upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the OS for max stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to choose from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they’re also regarded as the most stable and risk-free OSs. We offer three different ones since each one of them is backed by a separate community. The packages which you can add on your hosting server are different and this could matter in case you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements for the hosting environment. In this light, the hosting Control Panel that you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the OS that you'll select. You can choose any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, but if necessary, we can always install the server once again with an alternative one upon your request. As an optional service that you may add to the plan at any time, we can update your OS regularly so as to keep it as risk-free as possible.
