An Operating System is the low-level software that manages a computer. It controls the way the hardware behaves, the communication with peripherals for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between apps, as well as the prioritization of applications if several run at once. Each and every program that is installed on a computer functions by sending requests to the OS for different services via an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be performed using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting world, the Operating System is what commands a server as well as all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but also every other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. In case there're virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS which runs on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated server packages that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems to select from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they’re also regarded as the most reliable and risk-free OSs. We provide three different ones because each of them is supported by a separate community. The packages that you can add on your hosting server are different and this could matter in case you need to install some piece of software with specific requirements regarding the hosting environment. In this light, the internet hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the OS that you will choose. You can choose any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order procedure, but if necessary, we can always install the server anew with a different one upon your request. As an additional service that you can add to the package any time, we can update the OS regularly so as to keep it as risk-free as possible.
