An Operating System is the fundamental software which manages a PC. It controls the way your hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals including a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between various applications, and the prioritization of applications in case several run at once. Each program which is installed on a laptop or a desktop operates by sending requests to the OS for various services by using an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS can be performed through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting world, the Operating System is what commands a web hosting server as well as all the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but also any other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. If there're virtual machines created, they employ a guest OS that runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with three different Operating Systems as we want to give you more versatile plans which will enable you to install and run any web software irrespective of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license costs. All three have thousands of developers who have created a large number of software packages that you may install and use on your server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use will depend on the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need a new OS later on, it will not be a problem because we can always reinstall your machine. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with all patches which are available for it.
