Linux VPS hosting provides a virtualized server environment running a Linux-based operating system (such as Ubuntu, Debian, or CentOS). It is designed for developers and system administrators who need a powerful, flexible, and command-line driven environment. Unlike Windows, it is open-source and typically uses fewer system resources, leaving more power available for your applications.

Linux is the foundation of the web. It is ideally suited for hosting websites using the popular LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) or LEMP (Nginx) stacks. Beyond web servers, you can install virtually any open-source software, including database systems (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB), programming runtimes (Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go), and containerization tools.

We provide a wide variety of popular Linux distributions to suit your specific needs. This typically includes the latest Long Term Support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and others. You can select your preferred distribution from the dropdown menu during the order process or switch to a different one later using the "Re-image" tool.

Yes, with full root access, you can configure your own mail server using software like Postfix, Exim, or Dovecot. However, please be aware that maintaining a mail server requires significant effort to manage reputation and security. You must also ensure your IP address is not blacklisted and configure proper DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to ensure deliverability.

Since this is a self-managed server, you are responsible for its security. We highly recommend: 1) Disabling direct Root login via SSH and using a standard user with sudo privileges instead. 2) Using SSH Keys for authentication rather than passwords to prevent brute-force attacks. 3) Configuring a firewall (like UFW or iptables) to close all ports except those you are actively using. 4) Running regular updates (e.g., apt update or yum update) to patch security vulnerabilities.

Yes, because you have full Root access, you have the freedom to make low-level system changes, including compiling and installing custom kernels or kernel modules. This allows you to enable specific features or optimizations not available in the standard distribution kernels, provided these changes remain compatible with our underlying virtualized hardware.
