Each and every PC or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that interacts with the hardware equipment, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, along with any applications that are currently 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 Operating System. On a web server, every single app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, and so on. This goes for both standard site scripts and server-side software like a media server. In case a virtual server is set up on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, so you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with three different Operating Systems to select from. They are all Linux distributions - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license charges, but they are also regarded as the most dependable and risk-free OSs. We provide three different ones for the reason that each one of them is backed by a separate community. The packages that you could add on your server are different and this may matter in case you need to install some piece of software with particular requirements regarding the hosting environment. In this light, the internet hosting Control Panel that you can select for the dedicated server also depends on the OS that you'll pick. You can pick any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, yet if needed, we can always set up the server once again with another one upon your request. As an optional service that you can add to the package at any time, we can update your OS on a regular basis to keep it as risk-free as possible.
