Each and every personal computer or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, along with any apps that are currently installed 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 OS. On a server, each and every app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard website scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

We offer three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the most stable and reliable OSs you can find and we offer all three of them instead of just one because we realize that you may want to set up some software that has specific requirements with regards to the Operating System it will run on. The latter is due to the fact that each of the three Operating Systems has a vast support community behind it and there're different software applications you could install on the hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed 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 need to have a different OS, our tech support team can quickly wipe the present one and install the one that you need. We also offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems to pick from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license charges, but they’re also known as the most dependable and safe OSs. We offer three different ones for the reason that each of them is backed by a separate community. The packages that you can add on your web server are different and this could matter in case you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements regarding the hosting environment. In this light, the hosting Control Panel that you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the Operating System that you'll select. You can pick any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, yet if needed, we can always set up the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an additional service that you may add to the plan at any moment, we can update the OS on a regular basis to keep it as secure as possible.
