Multiple OS
Learn which Operating Systems you can easily run on your server.
Every personal computer or web server is run by an Operating System - the low-level program which communicates with the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a mouse or a printer, together with any applications that are installed on the 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 Operating System. On a server, any app runs within the parameters defined by the OS as well - priority, physical memory, processing time, etcetera. This is valid for both standard website scripts and server-side software such as a media server. When a virtual server is generated on a physical one, there can be two separate Operating Systems, named guest OS and host OS, which means that you will be able to set up a different software environment on the same machine.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers
If you choose one of our
VPS server plans, you will have as many as 3 different Operating Systems to select from - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. They are all Linux distributions and we offer them instead of offering just a single OS, because the applications that you might choose to run on the server could have specific requirements about the software environment. Each one of these three has some pros with regard to the available packages that you can eventually install, but what's common between them is the fact that they're really secure and dependable and have large communities which support them. The internet 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 tech support team can easily reinstall the VPS with the new one in just a few minutes. We also offer you the option to keep the Operating System on your server up-to-date weekly.
