Cloud Hosting

General

We offer a range of Linux distributions as well as Microsoft Windows Server.

Which OS should I choose?

If you require a Linux server and don't intend on reselling hosting, then we recommend selecting CentOS due to its renowned stability and long-term support. CentOS is also compatible with both Plesk and cPanel/WHM.

If you require a Linux server and intend to resell hosting then we recommend CloudLinux as it has a number of features such as account isolation that makes it ideal for use in a shared hosting environment.

For Windows VMs, we offer Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit.

All Linux distributions are 64-bit; 32-bit distributions are available upon request however please note 32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4GB RAM and as a result are not recommended.
