An Operating System is the software that interacts with the hardware of a computer system and serves as the intermediary between apps and the hardware, including peripherals such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an application, it sends requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the interaction is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Similar to a personal computer, web servers also have an Operating System that serves as a host for the software installed on them, including script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and many others. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast with the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

In case you decide to go for one of our virtual private server packages, you will be able to pick one of the three Linux releases that we provide for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most well-known and most stable server OSs available and we offer them so that you have a choice for the software environment of your machine if you intend to install some app with specific requirements regarding the packages that should be present on the hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use depends on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the possibility to replace the server Operating System open, so when you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one that's already present, we can always reinstall the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing all the security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you decide to get one of our dedicated servers, you shall find three Operating Systems on the registration page because we want to give you a larger choice regarding the system environment on your machine as different apps could have specific requirements. CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian include different modules developed by their huge support communities, so you can select each of these OSs and enjoy a reliable and risk-free web hosting service. Based on your choice, you will also have different Control Panels to choose from. Needless to say, we can always replace the Operating System in case the one you've selected in the beginning doesn't meet the requirements of the software which you want to run. We can also upgrade your OS on a regular basis in order to keep it as secure as possible through our Managed Services upgrade package.
