An Operating System is the basic software which controls a PC. It controls how your hardware functions, the communication with peripherals including a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between your applications, along with the prioritization of applications if several run concurrently. Any program which is installed on a computer works by sending requests to the OS for various services using an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be performed via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting field, the Operating System is what controls a server as well as any software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. If there are virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be installed with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to offer you more versatile packages that will allow you to install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. The options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license fees. All three have thousands of developers that have created countless software packages that you can install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three internet hosting Control Panels and which one you can use depends on the Operating System that you select when you sign up. If you need another OS later, it will not be a problem as we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it on a weekly basis with all patches that are available for it.
