An Operating System is the basic software that manages a PC. It takes care of the way the hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals like a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between apps, along with the prioritization of applications if several run concurrently. Every program that's installed on a laptop or a desktop functions by sending requests to the OS for different services via an application program interface (API). The communication with the OS can be achieved via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the hosting world, the OS is what controls a web hosting server along with all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. When there are virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with as many as 3 different Operating Systems as we want to give you more versatile plans that will enable you to install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are some of the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any kind of license fees. All three have a large number of developers that have created a large number of software packages that you can install and use on your server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you sign up. If you need a new OS subsequently, it will not 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 every week with all patches that are available for it.
