Every single personal computer or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that communicates with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, and 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, every single application runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more flexible plans that will enable you to install and run any kind of web software regardless of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have numerous developers that have created a large number of software packages that you could install and use on your web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. If you need a new OS later on, it won't be a problem since we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with all patches which are available for it.
