Operating system

Ubuntu

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Long-term support until 2029. The most widely documented server Linux there is: when software publishes install instructions, they are usually written for this. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS The current long-term release, supported until 2031. Newer kernel and compilers than 24.04 — take it unless something you run still pins the older one.

Debian

Debian 12 Bookworm, the previous stable. Older packages by design and very few surprises, which is why it is the usual choice for a machine you want to leave alone. Debian 13 Trixie, the current stable. The same conservatism as 12 on a newer kernel, with security support into 2030.

Enterprise Linux

AlmaLinux 8 Binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Take it when the software you are installing asks for EL8 by name. AlmaLinux 9 RHEL 9 compatible, with SELinux enforcing out of the box. The one to start new enterprise-Linux work on. Rocky Linux 8 The other RHEL 8 rebuild, and functionally interchangeable with AlmaLinux 8 — what differs is which foundation governs it. Rocky Linux 9 RHEL 9 compatible, governed by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation. Interchangeable with AlmaLinux 9.

Fedora

Fedora 44 The newest kernel and libraries of anything here, with about thirteen months of support. Good for development, not for a server you intend to forget about.

Server editions, 64-bit, installed clean before the machine is handed over. Changing it afterwards means a reinstall, so take the one you want to keep.

Additional storage

None No extra cost 100 GB + $9.99 200 GB + $17.99 500 GB + $29.99

Daily backups are included, at no extra cost

Every machine is backed up once a day, and putting it back costs nothing. The two backup options below add to that rather than replace it.

Premium automatic backup A backup of your own on top of the daily one, with a rolling seven-day restore. + $9.99 a month Snapshot backup An image of the machine taken whenever you want one — the thing to do before you change anything. + $3.99 a month Additional IPv4 One IPv4 address is included. This adds a second, routed to the same machine. + $4.99 a month
