An Operating System is the fundamental software which manages a computer system. It takes care of how your hardware operates, the communication with peripheral devices like a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between applications, as well as the prioritization of applications in case several run at once. Every program that is installed on a desktop or a notebook operates by sending requests to the OS for different services via an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be done via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting field, the OS is what commands a web hosting server as well as all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application such as a VOIP or a game server. If there are virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS that runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

If you choose to go for one of our virtual private server packages, you'll be able to select one of the three Linux distributions which we offer for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most well-known and most stable server OSs available and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you need to install some app with precise requirements with regards to the packages that should be present on the web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you may use will depend on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so if you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always re-install the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems as we want to offer you more flexible plans that will enable you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most reliable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have lots of developers that have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need some other OS subsequently, it will not be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with all patches which are released for it.
