Each and every desktop or notebook or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, together with 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 server, every single app runs within the parameters set by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This goes for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two independent Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers we offer can be installed with as many as three different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more versatile packages which will allow you to install and run any type of web software regardless of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most dependable and safe ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license charges. All three have lots of developers that have created a huge number of software packages that you could install and use on your web server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. If you need a new OS later on, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches which are released for it.
