Every single desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program that communicates with the hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse and a printer, along with any apps that are currently installed on your system. Any program input through 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, every single application runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, called guest OS and host OS, so that you can set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile solutions which will let you install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license costs. All three have a large number of developers who have created numerous software packages that you may install and use on your server. We also offer three web 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 afterwards, 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 on a weekly basis with all patches that are released for it.
