An Operating System is the fundamental software that manages a computer system. It handles the way your hardware functions, the communication with peripherals like a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between the installed applications, along with the prioritization of applications when multiple ones run at the same time. Each and every program that's installed on a desktop or a notebook works by sending requests to the OS for various services via an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS is possible using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting world, the Operating System is what commands a web server and all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but also every other application such as a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS which is run on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

We offer you as many as three different Linux distributions for the Operating System of our virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the most stable and reliable OSs you can get and we provide all three instead of only one since we realize that you may want to install some software that has specific requirements with regards to the Operating System it shall 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 are different software programs you may install on the hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS in case you would like to use one and that is why we offer multiple Control Panels too. In case you decide that you need to have a different OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the existing one and install the one that you need. In addition, we offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to choose from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license taxes, but they’re also considered to be among the most dependable and safe OSs. We supply three different ones for the reason that each of them is backed by a separate community. The packages that you could add on your hosting server are different and this may matter if you want to install some piece of software with particular requirements regarding the hosting environment. In this light, the web hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the OS that you'll choose. You can select any of the three Operating Systems during the order procedure, but if needed, we can always install the server anew with a different one upon your request. As an optional service that you could add to the package whenever you want, we can update your OS regularly to keep it as secure as possible.
