Each and every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are present on your 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 Operating System. On a web server, any app runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This is valid for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

We provide as many as three different Linux distributions for the Operating System of our VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the safest and the most reliable OSs out there and we provide all three of them rather than only 1 because we realize that you might want to set up some software with specific requirements regarding the Operating System it will run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a huge support community behind it and there are various software packages you may install on the web server. Your OS choice will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS in case you wish to use one and because of this we offer several Control Panels too. Should you decide that you need to have another OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the present one and install the one that you'd like. We also offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated server solutions 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 charges, but they’re also considered to be among the most dependable and safe OSs. We provide three different ones since each of them is supported by a separate community. The packages that you can add on your server are different and this may matter if you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements for the hosting environment. In this light, the hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the OS that you will pick. You can select any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order process, but if needed, we can always set up the server once again with an alternative one upon your request. As an optional service that you may add to the plan at any moment, we can update the OS on a regular basis so as to keep it as secure as possible.
