An Operating System is the software that communicates with the hardware of a PC and functions as the intermediary between applications and the hardware, which includes peripherals such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run software, it transfers requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the contact is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Identical to a personal computer, web servers also use an Operating System which functions as a host for all the software installed on them, including script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etcetera. A virtual machine can be set up on a physical one, so it is possible to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you decide to buy one of our VPS server plans, you'll be able to select one of the three Linux distributions which we supply for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most preferred and most dependable server OSs out there and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you need to install some application with precise requirements with regards to the packages that need to be present on the web server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use will depend on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one you already have, we can always re-install the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems as we want to give you more flexible packages which will enable you to install and run any type of web software irrespective of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most stable and safe ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license fees. All three have a large number of developers that have created numerous software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need some other OS later on, it will not be a problem as we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with any patches that are available for it.
