"> '); Multiple OS
Every single notebook or desktop or server is run by an Operating System - the low-level software that communicates with the computer hardware, including peripherals such as a mouse or a printer, as well as any applications that are currently installed on your system. Any program input using a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is processed by sending an Application Program Interface (API) request to the OS. On a server, each app runs within the parameters specified by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etc. This is valid for both standard site scripts and server-side software such as a media server. If a virtual server is created on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, referred to as guest OS and host OS, which means that you'll be able to set up a different software environment on the very same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers

In case you pick one of our VPS server packages, you will have 3 different Operating Systems to select from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They're all Linux distributions and we offer them instead of offering just a single OS, as the apps that you might choose to run on the server could have specific requirements about the software environment. Each one of these three has certain pros in terms of the available packages that you could eventually install, but what is common between them is the fact that they're very stable and reliable and have large communities which support them. The web hosting Control Panel alternatives for the VPS accounts depend on your OS choice, in order to give you more flexibility. When you order the virtual server with one OS and you need another one later, our technical support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in a matter of minutes. We also offer the option to keep the Operating System on your server up-to-date on a weekly basis.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems to choose from. They are all Linux distributions - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license fees, but they are also known as the most dependable and secure OSs. We provide three different ones because each one of them is supported by a different community. The packages that you could add on your web server are different and this could matter in case you want to install some piece of software with specific requirements about the hosting environment. In this light, the web hosting Control Panel which you can select for the dedicated server is also determined by the Operating System that you will choose. You can select any of the three Operating Systems throughout the order process, however if necessary, we can always set up the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an additional service that you can add to the plan at any time, we can update your OS regularly so as to keep it as risk-free as possible.
