An Operating System is the basic software that controls a PC. It takes care of the way the hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between various applications, plus the prioritization of apps in case several run at the same time. Each and every program that is installed on a computer system works by sending requests to the OS for various services via an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS is possible using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting world, the Operating System is what runs a web server together with all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application for example a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they use a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile plans that will let you install and run any type of web software regardless of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most reliable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license fees. All three have thousands of developers that have created numerous software packages that you could install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need a different OS later, it will not be a problem as 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 which are available for it.
