Every personal computer or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, as well as any applications that are currently installed on the 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 Operating System. On a server, any app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you will be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems as we want to offer you more flexible solutions that will permit you to install and run any type of web software whatever its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most reliable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license costs. All three have numerous developers that have created countless software packages that you can install and use on your web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need a new OS subsequently, 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 upgrading it on a weekly basis with any patches that are released for it.
