An Operating System is the software that communicates with the hardware of a computer system and works as the intermediary between applications and the hardware, including peripheral devices such as a printer, a computer mouse or a keyboard. When you run software, it sends requests to the OS through an API (Application Program Interface) and the communication is done through a command line or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Similar to a personal computer, hosting servers also have an Operating System that functions as a host for all of the software installed on them, which includes script apps 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 will be able to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment compared to the physical server host OS.

Multiple OS in Dedicated Servers

The dedicated server solutions that we offer come with as many as three different Operating Systems to pick from. They are all Linux release - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian, and not only do they have no license taxes, but they are also considered to be among the most stable and secure OSs. We offer three different ones for the reason that each of them is supported by a separate community. The packages that you could add on your hosting server are different and this may 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 that 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, yet if necessary, we can always set up the server anew with an alternative one upon your request. As an optional service that you can add to the plan at any moment, we can update your OS regularly so as to keep it as risk-free as possible.
