An Operating System is the low-level software that controls a computer system. It controls how your hardware functions, the communication with peripherals for instance a monitor, a printer or a keyboard, the allocation of memory between apps, along with the prioritization of apps in case multiple ones run concurrently. Each program that is installed on a notebook or a desktop operates by sending requests to the OS for different services via an application program interface (API). The contact with the OS can be achieved through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a command line. In the Internet hosting field, the OS is what controls a hosting server along with all of the software installed on it, which includes not only website scripts, but, in addition every other application for instance a VOIP or a game server. If there are virtual machines created, they work with a guest OS that runs on the server host OS.
