Every notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any applications that are 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 web server, each and every application runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard 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 different Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, so that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with three different Operating Systems since we want to give you more versatile plans that will let you install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license costs. All three have lots of developers that have created countless software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. In case you need a new OS afterwards, it won't be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with any patches which are released for it.
