An Operating System is the software which interacts with the hardware of a PC and works as the intermediary between applications and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run an application, it transfers requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the interaction is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A lot like a personal computer, web servers also feature an Operating System which functions as a host for the software installed on them, including 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 in contrast to the physical server host OS.
Multiple OS in VPS Servers
In case you pick one of our VPS server plans, you'll have three different Operating Systems to select from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They're all Linux releases and we offer them rather than offering just a single OS, since the applications that you may wish to run on the server may have specific requirements for the software environment. Each one of these three has some pros with regard to the available packages that you may later install, but what is common between them is the fact that they are really stable and reliable and have large communities which support them. The internet hosting Control Panel alternatives for the VPS accounts depend on your OS choice, so as to provide you with more flexibility. If you order the virtual server with one OS and you need a different one later, our technical support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in just a few minutes. We also offer the option to maintain the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.
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 versatile packages which will let you install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most reliable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have numerous developers that have created numerous software packages that you can install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three 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 new OS afterwards, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with any patches which are available for it.
