Multiple OS
Learn how you could transform your server from the beginning with a choice of Multiple Operating Systems.
An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a computer system and serves as the intermediary between the installed applications and the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run software, it transfers requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Identical to a personal computer, hosting servers also use an Operating System which serves as a host for the software installed on them, which includes script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etc. 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 VPS Web Hosting
We offer you as many as three different Linux distributions for the Operating System of our
virtual private servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are some of the safest and the most reliable OSs you can find and we supply all 3 instead of just one since we realize that you might want to install some software which has specific requirements regarding the Operating System it'll run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there are various software packages you may install on the web hosting server. Your OS selection will also determine exactly what hosting Control Panel can be installed on the VPS if you wish to use one and because of this we offer several Control Panels too. If you ever decide that you need another OS, our technical support can quickly wipe the current one and set up the one that you would like. In addition, we offer an optional service to keep the OS on your VPS updated weekly.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting
In case you decide to acquire one of our
dedicated servers, you shall find three Operating Systems on the registration page since we want to give you a broader choice with regard to the system environment on the machine as different apps can have specific requirements. CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian contain different modules developed by their huge support communities, so you can select any of these OSs and take advantage of a reliable and safe Internet hosting service. Depending on your choice, you'll also have different Control Panels to choose from. Needless to say, we can always replace the Operating System in case the one you have selected at first does not meet the requirements of the software which you intend to run. We can also update your OS routinely in order to keep it as secure as possible with our Managed Services upgrade package.
