Every PC or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, along with any apps that are present on the 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 Operating System. On a web server, any app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

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 some of the safest and the most reliable OSs available on the market and we offer all three instead of just one as we realize that you might want to install some software with specific requirements with regards to the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there're various software programs you can install on the web server. Your OS choice will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you want to use one and that's why we offer several Control Panels too. If you ever decide that you want a different OS, our tech support can quickly wipe the existing one and set up the one that you would like. We also offer an optional service to have the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you decide to buy one of our dedicated servers, you will find three Operating Systems on the registration page because we want to give you a larger choice regarding the system environment on your server as different apps may have certain requirements. CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian come with different modules developed by their vast support communities, so you can select any of these OSs and enjoy a reliable and safe Internet hosting service. Based on your selection, you will also have different Control Panels to choose from. Of course, we can always replace the Operating System in case the one you've selected initially does not meet the requirements of the software which you'd like to run. We can also upgrade the OS regularly in order to keep it as risk-free as possible using our Managed Services upgrade package.
