Multiple OS
Learn how you can transform your web server from the starting with a selection of Multiple Operating Systems.
An Operating System is the fundamental software that controls a computer system. It handles how the hardware operates, the communication with peripherals such as a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between apps, and the prioritization of applications if multiple ones run concurrently. Every program which is installed on a computer system functions by sending requests to the OS for different services by using an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS can be achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting world, the Operating System is what runs a web server as well as all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application for example a VOIP or a game server. When there are virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS that runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in VPS Web Hosting
If you pick one of our
virtual private server plans, you will have three different Operating Systems to select from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They're all Linux distributions and we offer them instead of offering just one OS, since the apps that you might want to run on the server may have specific requirements regarding the software environment. Each of the three has some pros with regard to the available packages that you can later on install, but what is common between them is that they are very secure and reliable and have vast communities which support them. The internet hosting Control Panel choices for the VPS accounts depend on your Operating System choice, in order to give you more flexibility. When 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 a matter of minutes. We also offer you the option to keep the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The
dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to give you more versatile packages which will enable you to install and run any web software whatever its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are some of the most stable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license costs. All three have thousands of developers who have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your web server. We also offer three web hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you select when you register. If you need another OS later on, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it on a weekly basis with all patches which are released for it.
