An Operating System is the software which communicates with the hardware of a PC and is the intermediary between apps and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a mouse or a keyboard. When you run an app, it sends requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Just like a personal computer, web servers also feature an Operating System that acts as a host for any software installed on them, including script applications or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, etcetera. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so you will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast to the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The dedicated server solutions 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 charges, but they are also known as the most stable and risk-free OSs. We supply three different ones as each one of them is supported by a separate community. The packages that you can add on your hosting server are different and this may matter in case you need to install some piece of software with particular requirements about the hosting environment. In this light, the hosting Control Panel that you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the Operating System that you'll pick. You can choose any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, yet if necessary, we can always set up the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an optional service that you could add to the package whenever you want, we can update the OS regularly to keep it as risk-free as possible.
