Operating systems for your VPS
The images you can pick at order time or under Rebuild in the control panel, as listed in the panel today.
The list below is what the control panel offers under Rebuild today. It changes when distributions release new versions, so the panel is the reference and this page is only an overview.
| Family | Versions |
|---|---|
| AlmaLinux | 9, 10 |
| Alpine Linux | 3.19, 3.23 |
| Arch Linux | rolling |
| CentOS Stream | 8, 9 |
| CloudLinux | 8.8, 9.4; also as images with DirectAdmin, Plesk or cPanel preinstalled |
| Debian | 10, 11, 12, 13; each also as Minimal and as Cloud Micro |
| Fedora | 39, 40, 43 |
| FreeBSD | 15.0 |
| Oracle Linux | 9 |
| Rocky Linux | 8, 9, 10 |
| Ubuntu | 18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04 LTS |
| openSUSE | Leap 15 |
| Yeastar PBX | P-Series Software Edition |
Which one?
If you have no preference, take Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Most guides on the internet assume one of the two, and both get security updates for years. The "Minimal" Debian images leave out everything you did not ask for and are a good base for a mail or web server you configure yourself. CloudLinux, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin need licences that are not part of the VPS price.
Something else
An operating system that is not in the list can be installed from your own ISO image on request; open a ticket with the image and we take it from there.
Changing later
Options → Rebuild in the control panel installs any image from the list on the existing server. The disk is wiped in the process. Your SSH keys from the SSH Keys page are applied to the new installation; without a key, a new root password is e-mailed. Details in First login on your VPS.
