An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a PC and functions as the intermediary between apps and the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an application, it transfers requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Similar to a personal computer, web hosting servers also have an Operating System which acts as a host for the software installed on them, including script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and many others. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so it is possible to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer come with three different Operating Systems because we want to give you more versatile solutions which will let you install and run any type of web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any kind of license charges. All three have lots of developers that have created numerous software packages that you can install and use on your hosting 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 some other OS later, it will not be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches that are released for it.
