Each notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any apps that are present on the 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 OS. On a web server, any app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software like a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, so that you will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

Our virtual private server solutions come with three Linux distributions that you could choose from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being cost-free, the OSs are very stable and protected and the key reason to offer the three of them is to ensure that you will be able to run any app that you would like, as different pieces of software may have different requirements for the environment they can be used on. Each one of the three OSs is supported by a vast community of web developers who have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your VPS. In accordance with the Operating System which you select, you will also be able to select between three different Control Panels to handle your website hosting content. Needless to say, in case you decide that you need some other OS, we can always re-install the server with it. As a paid upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the Operating System for max stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

We offer three Operating Systems with our dedicated server solutions - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're all different Linux distributions and we offer them not only because they are totally free so they won't increase the low price of your new web hosting server, but also because they are really secure and stable. Each of them is supported by a huge community of web developers, so you will be able to choose from countless software packages that you may install on your server if the application that you intend to use has certain requirements. The Operating System will also determine what internet hosting Control Panel you can use since the Control Panels that we offer are compatible with specific OSs only and since we want to give you as much versatility as possible, we offer a couple of OSs and multiple Control Panels. If you get a server with a certain OS, we will change it upon request if it turns out that you will need alternative one. We could also keep the OS updated weekly as part of our additional Managed Services upgrade.
