Ubuntu is a popular VPS OS for many reasons. It is user-friendly and compatible with most programming languages, including MySQL and PHP, and can be used with containerization solutions like Kubernetes. It can also be customised to suit your needs and offers excellent support, updates, and security. Other strong Linux distributions for VPS are Rocky Linux and CentOS, which are both known for their simplicity and secure builds.
For more advanced Linux users, we would recommend Debian VPS. The Debian operating system is complex and less user-friendly than other Linux distributions, but also much more configurable and customizable. Debian is also known for its high level of stability. It doesn’t need lots of updates – apart from mission-critical bug fixes and security patching.
