We use a plethora of digital devices on a daily basis, from mobile phones, personal computers, laptops, smart TVs, smart watches, to embedded systems such as the car computer, product scanners, POS, to the digital services such as social media powered by servers located in remote data-centers.
But have you really wondered what is the OS that powers all these devices? The answer is, there is not such an operating system, as each device category is powered by a different family of operating systems. But first, we should split them into categories:

In today’s changing environment, it is important to maintain a moral and eco-friendly stand regarding every choice, service or product we purchase. Starting with paper and biodegradable products instead of plastic products, hybrid and electric cars instead of gasoline and diesel, solar power instead of fossil fuel, bio-degradable cosmetics instead of polluting aerosols. The same stance should be taken when talking about digital services, such as social media, subscription-based services such as Netflix and yes, when also talking about web hosting.
It is hard to imagine talking about an environment-friendly attitude when talking about electronics and digital services, that are… read more +

When choosing a VPS, there are a multitude of factors to take into consideration before making the purchase; what OS should I choose, what is the best location for me, what VPS provider has the best rates, should I go for the cheaper package or the high-end one and last but not the least important, what virtualization technology is better suited for my needs.

The main difference that should be noted right off the bat is the fact that KVM has a dedicated Linux kernel for each virtual machine, while LXC shares the kernel of the main operating system that… read more +
