Every notebook or desktop or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, and any apps that are present 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 application runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two different Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you can set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Hosting

In case you choose to go for one of our virtual private server packages, you'll be able to select one of the three Linux releases which we offer for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most well-known and most stable server OSs available on the market and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine if you wish to install some application with particular requirements regarding the packages that need to be present on the hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one of them you can use depends on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the possibility to change 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 reinstall the VPS. We can also keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing any security updates that may be released.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to select from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they’re also considered to be among the most stable and secure OSs. We offer three different ones as each one of them is supported by a separate community. The packages that you could add on your web server are different and this may matter in case you want to install some piece of software with specific requirements about the hosting environment. In this light, the internet hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the OS that you will choose. You can choose any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order process, but if needed, we can always set up the server once again with a different one upon your request. As an optional service that you may add to the package at any time, we can update the OS regularly so as to keep it as secure as possible.
