An Operating System is the fundamental software which manages a PC. It controls the way your hardware operates, the communication with peripherals for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between your applications, plus the prioritization of apps if multiple ones run at once. Every program that is installed on a desktop or a notebook functions by sending requests to the OS for various services via an application program interface (API). The interaction with the OS can be done using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the web hosting world, the OS is what controls a hosting server along with 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. When there're virtual machines created, they employ a guest OS which is run on the server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Hosting

The dedicated servers that we offer can be set up with three different Operating Systems because we want to offer you more versatile plans which will enable you to install and run any kind of web software regardless of its system requirements. The choices are CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu and these three OSs are among the most reliable and risk-free ones, not mentioning that they do not have any license charges. All three have thousands of developers who have created numerous software packages that you could install and use on your web 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. In case you need some other OS subsequently, it won't be a problem because we can always reinstall your server. With our Managed Services package we could also keep your OS secure by updating it every week with any patches which are released for it.
