Every single PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, and any applications that are 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 web server, each and every app runs within the parameters established 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, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

If you decide to acquire one of our VPS server packages, you will be able to choose one of the three Linux releases that we offer for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most preferred and most reliable server OSs available and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you would like to install some application with precise requirements with regards to the packages that should be present on the server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you can use depends on the OS that you've selected. We leave the option to replace the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an app that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always reinstall the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing any security updates that may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more versatile packages which will allow you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license charges. All three have a large number of developers who have created numerous software packages that you may install and use on your server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need another OS later, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches that are available for it.
