An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a computer system and works as the intermediary between all the applications and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it transfers requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A lot like a personal computer, hosting servers also use an Operating System which functions as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etc. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you'll be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting

Our virtual private server solutions feature three Linux releases which you may choose from for the Operating System of your new hosting server - Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS. Aside from being 100 % free, the OSs are really stable and protected and the primary reason to offer you all 3 of them is to ensure that you can run every application that you would like, since different pieces of software have different requirements when it comes to the environment they can be used on. Each one of the three OSs is supported by a vast community of web developers who have developed a large number of software packages which you can install and use on your VPS. Based on the Operating System which you select, you will also be able to select between three different Control Panels to take care of your web hosting content. Also, in case you decide that you need a new OS, we could always reinstall the server with it. As an optional upgrade, we also offer weekly updates of the OS for maximum stability and security.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more versatile solutions that will allow you to install and run any kind of web software irrespective of its system requirements.

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.
