Each desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that communicates with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are currently installed on your system. Any program input using 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, each application runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard 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 independent Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you decide to acquire one of our VPS server packages, you shall be able to choose one of the three Linux releases which we supply for the Operating System of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're among the most preferred and most dependable 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 in terms of the packages that must be present on the web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use will depend on the OS that you have picked. 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 you already have, we can always re-install 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 Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to give you more flexible packages that will permit you to install and run any kind of web software regardless of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license fees. All three have lots of developers that have created numerous software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web hosting server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need a new OS later, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with all patches which are released for it.
