Switch whenever
Choose your flavor
Pick your distribution at setup, and reinstall or switch whenever a project needs it.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
The most widely used server Linux, with a huge package library and five years of long-term support, so it's the safe default for most stacks.
Debian 12
A lean, famously stable base (the one Ubuntu is built on), favoured for long-lived servers where predictability matters more than the newest packages.
AlmaLinux 9
A free, community-run rebuild that's binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the pick when you need RHEL or CentOS compatibility for cPanel or enterprise software.
cPanel
Choose from all different cPanel licences installed and licensed by us. Runs on AlmaLinux. You can also choose to add CloudLinux, LiteSpeed and Imunify360.

Unmanaged VPS and cloud server FAQs
A VPS is a virtual private server: a virtual machine with its own operating system and its own dedicated CPU, RAM and NVMe storage, running on shared physical hardware but isolated from every other server on it. Unmanaged means you run the software side yourself: the OS, updates, security and whatever you install. We run the hardware, power, network and data centre underneath it.
If you are looking for an easy upgrade from your Shared Hosting account and want to continue using an intuitive control panel like cPanel, we recommend that you select a Managed VPS account. Our expert support team can even seamlessly migrate your existing website into a Managed VPS for free!
If, on the other hand, you are an experienced developer who is comfortable working with command line and want root access so you can fully customize your server, an Unmanaged VPS would be a better option for you.
You may also think that since you’ve customized your VPS, that you’re stuck with the resources that you originally selected when you created your account. That’s not true either. If you need additional resources after signing up for your account, that’s just a sign that your site is growing. It’s a sign of success. You shouldn’t be penalized because for this success. That’s why our VPS plans are completely scalable. Just contact our support team when you need more resources and we’ll be happy to help.
Are you concerned that you’ll outgrow your virtual private server account? Don’t be! Your site has additional room to grow at hosting.com because we can seamlessly upgrade you to one of our Dedicated Servers when a VPS no longer fits your needs.
You manage everything above the operating system: OS choice and updates, security patching, your software, and your own backups unless you add ours. We manage everything below it: the physical hardware, power, network, and data centre, with a 99.9% hardware and network SLA.
Choose unmanaged if you are comfortable on the command line and want full root control of your environment. Choose managed if you would rather we handle OS updates, patching and a cPanel control panel so you can focus on your sites. Both give you dedicated resources, but full root access is available only on unmanaged VPS.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Debian 12 and AlmaLinux 9. You can reinstall or switch OS from your control panel whenever a project needs it.
