Every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, together with any apps that are installed on the 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 OS. On a server, each application runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. In case a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more flexible plans that will permit you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most stable and safe ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have lots of developers who have created a huge number of software packages that you can 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 sign up. If you need a new OS subsequently, it won't be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with any patches which are released for it.
