Every notebook or desktop or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the computer hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse and a printer, along with any applications that are installed on your system. Any program input through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is processed by sending an Application Program Interface (API) request to the OS. On a web server, each application runs within the parameters established by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard Internet site scripts and server-side software like a media server. If a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on a single machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems to choose from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they are also known as the most reliable and risk-free OSs. We supply three different ones as each one of them is backed by a separate community. The packages which you can add on your hosting server are different and this may matter if you want to install some piece of software with specific requirements about the hosting environment. In this light, the internet hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the Operating System that you will choose. You can pick any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, but if needed, we can always install the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an optional service that you can add to the plan any time, we can update the OS regularly in order to keep it as secure as possible.
