An Operating System is the software that interacts with the hardware of a computer system and works as the intermediary between apps and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer 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, hosting servers also feature an Operating System which serves as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and many others. A virtual machine can be created on a physical one, so you will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

If you choose to buy one of our VPS server packages, you shall be able to choose 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 reliable server OSs available and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine if you need to install some app with precise requirements regarding the packages that must be present on the hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you can use depends on the OS that you've chosen. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use an application 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 weekly by installing any security updates which may be available.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

We offer three Operating Systems with our dedicated server plans - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're all different Linux distributions and we offer them not only because they're totally free so they won't increase the price of your new server, but also because they are very secure and stable. Each one of them is supported by a vast community of web developers, so you'll be given the option to choose from a large number software packages that you may install on your server in case the application that you would like to use has specific requirements. The Operating System will also determine what hosting Control Panel you can use as the Control Panels that we offer run on specific OSs only and since we would like to give you as much adaptability as possible, we offer several OSs and multiple Control Panels. If you get a server with a given OS, we can change it upon request in case it turns out that you'll need a different one. We can also keep the OS updated weekly as part of our useful Managed Services upgrade.
