An Operating System is the software which interacts with the hardware of a PC and functions as the intermediary between the installed applications and the hardware, which includes peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run an application, it sends requests to the OS using an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done via a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Identical to a personal computer, web hosting servers also use an Operating System which acts as a host for the software installed on them, including 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 Dedicated Web Hosting

The dedicated servers we offer come with as many as 3 different Operating Systems since we want to give you more versatile packages which will let you install and run any web software regardless of its system requirements. Your options are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these 3 OSs are among the most stable and secure ones, not mentioning that they don't have any license costs. All three have thousands of developers that have created countless software packages that you may install and use on your hosting server. We also offer three hosting Control Panels and which one you can use is determined by the Operating System that you choose when you register. If you need another OS subsequently, it will not be a problem since we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by upgrading it every week with all patches which are available for it.
