What is Linux VPS hosting?

Linux is an open-source operating system, compatible with various devices and platforms. Known for its security, reliability, and flexibility, this OS caters to diverse user needs and preferences. Buy Linux VPS hosting, and you will get a virtual private server to host your online project. As a VPS hosting provider, we add a dedicated IP address, a malware scanner, a built-in firewall, and a DDoS traffic filter to ensure your server security. Plus, a user-friendly dashboard to make your server configuration and management easier.

What are the different ways to manage a Linux VPS?

There are two main ways to manage a Linux VPS: Command-line interface (CLI) – the CLI requires you to use the terminal to enter commands and perform tasks for managing Linux servers. Meanwhile, you can remotely connect to the CLI by using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. Web-based control panel – it provides a graphical interface for working with your virtual private servers. This is a more user-friendly option for users who are not familiar with the CLI.

What control panel options are available for my Linux VPS?

Our Linux VPS hosting services support various distributions, including AlmaLinux, CentOS, and Ubuntu, together with different applications and control panels, such as cPanel, CyberPanel, and CloudPanel. For a full list, refer to our article on the available operating systems for VPS .

Can I customize the server configuration and install specific software on my Linux VPS?

Yes. We provide self-managed VPS hosting plans, enabling you to customize the server configuration and install the specific software you want. However, you will have to make sure that your Linux VPS plan has enough resources to run your chosen software. To double-check your vCPU cores, RAM, disk space, and other resources, open our article on the parameters and limits of hosting plans .

What level of technical support will I get for managing and troubleshooting issues on my Linux VPS?

As a Linux VPS hosting provider, we offer self-managed services, meaning you will be the only one who can access your server configuration settings. To make your journey smoother, we offer AI Assistant that can help you with any VPS-related issues, a vast library of VPS tutorials , and knowledge base articles for self-learning.
