An Operating System is the software that communicates with the hardware of a computer system and serves as the intermediary between all the applications and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it transfers requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the contact is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). A lot like a personal computer, hosting servers also use an Operating System that 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 so on. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you could install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more flexible solutions which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software whatever its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license fees. All three have lots of developers that have created a large number of software packages that you'll be able to install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need some other OS afterwards, it will not be a problem as we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we can also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches which are available for it.
