An Operating System is the software which interacts with the hardware of a computer and is 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 transmits requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the interaction is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Just like a personal computer, hosting servers also have an Operating System which serves as a host for any software installed on them, which includes script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etcetera. A virtual machine can be created on a physical one, so you can install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host Operating System.
Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting
If you decide to buy one of our virtual private server packages, you shall be able to select one of the three Linux distributions that we provide for the OS of the servers - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. These are among the most well-known and most reliable server OSs out there and we offer them in order to give you a choice for the software environment of your machine in case that you wish to install some app with specific requirements regarding the packages that must be present on the web hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one of them you could use will depend on the OS that you've selected. We leave the chance to change the server Operating System open, so when you want to use software that requires an OS different from the one you have, we can always re-install the VPS. In addition, we can keep the OS up-to-date on a weekly basis by installing any security updates that may be released.
Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
We offer three Operating Systems with our dedicated server solutions - CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. They're all different Linux distributions and we offer them not only because they are freely available so they will not increase the price of your new server, but also because they are outstandingly secure and stable. Each of them is backed up by a huge community of web developers, so you'll be able to choose from countless software packages that you could install on your server in case the app that you would like to work with has specific requirements. The Operating System will also determine what web hosting Control Panel you can use because the Control Panels that we offer are compatible with specific OSs only and because we would like to provide you with as much flexibility as possible, we offer multiple OSs and multiple Control Panels. In case you get a server with a given Operating System, we could change it upon request in case it turns out that you'll need a different one. We will also keep the OS updated on a weekly basis as a part of the useful Managed Services upgrade.
