Each and every PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, together with any applications 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 server, each app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you will be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

Our virtual private server plans feature three Linux releases that you could choose from for the Operating System of your new web server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Apart from being absolutely free, the OSs are extremely stable and protected and the key reason to offer you the 3 of them is to make sure that you will be able to run every application that you'd like, because different pieces of software may have different requirements when it comes to the environment they can be used on. Each of the three OSs is backed by a vast community of developers who have developed a large number of software packages that you can set up and use on your VPS. Depending on the Operating System that you pick, you will also be able to select between three different Control Panels to take care of your web hosting content. Of course, if you decide that you need another OS, we could always re-install the server with it. As an optional upgrade, we also offer you weekly updates of the Operating System for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to give you more versatile plans that will let you install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most dependable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have numerous developers who have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. If you need a new OS later on, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches which are released for it.
