Multiple OS
How many server Operating Systems will you be able to pick from?
An Operating System is the software that interacts with the hardware of a computer and works as the intermediary between applications and the hardware, including peripherals 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). A lot like a personal computer, web servers also use an Operating System that functions as a host for all the software installed on them, including script apps or server-side software such as a flash server, a VOIP server, and so on. A virtual machine can be generated on a physical one, so it is possible to install a guest OS on it and have a different system environment in contrast with the physical server host Operating System.

Multiple OS in VPS Servers
We offer you three different Linux releases for the Operating System of our
VPS servers - Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu. These are among the safest and the most reliable OSs on the market and we supply all three rather than only 1 since we realize that you may want to install some software which has specific requirements for the Operating System it shall run on. The latter is because each of the three Operating Systems has a large support community behind it and there're different software applications you can install on the server. Your OS choice will also determine what hosting Control Panel can be set up on the VPS if you want to use one and because of this we offer several Control Panels as well. If you ever decide that you want a different OS, our tech support team can quickly wipe the present one and set up the one that you would like. We also offer an optional service to maintain the OS on your VPS updated weekly.
