Each PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software which communicates with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, together with any apps that are currently installed on your system. Any program input using 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, any application runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software like a media server. When a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

In case you choose to go for one of our virtual private server plans, you shall be able to select one of the three Linux releases which we supply for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most popular and most stable server OSs on the market and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you intend to install some app with particular requirements with regards to the packages that need to be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you'll be able to use will depend on the OS that you have selected. We leave the possibility to replace the server Operating System open, so if you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always re-install the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date weekly by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile solutions which will let you install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license costs. All three have lots of developers who have created a huge number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you select when you register. In case you need a new OS subsequently, 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 any patches which are available for it.
