Linux or Windows?
The choice of operating system depends on the project objectives. Windows and Linux have their own advantages.
The peculiarity of Linux is its openness. Linux is free (unlike Windows, where you have to pay for licenses) and functional: many popular applications and scripts are created specifically to work with it. In addition, Linux is often more secure because most attacks are aimed at Windows.
However, Linux does not support some Windows applications: ASP and ASP.NET, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Visual Basic, Remote Desktop and others. Additionally, Windows VPS hosting provides a more intuitive management experience.
What Linux distros do you provide?
You can deploy servers with the following Linux distributions:
- AlmaLinux;
- Kali Linux;
- Rocky Linux;
- Debian;
- Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL);
- Ubuntu.
Alongside Linux, you can also set up servers on Windows and FreeBSD.
How do I create a Linux VPS server?
To deploy your own server, log in to the Serverspace control panel and select the necessary computing resources, such as CPU, RAM, storage, and operating system.
Once you have configured your server to meet your project requirements, simply refill your account balance.
After that, the server will be automatically activated and ready for immediate use, providing you with full control and scalability whenever you need it.
How to connect to a Linux server?
To establish a connection to your Linux server, first download the PuTTY application from its official website. PuTTY is a widely used SSH client that enables secure remote access to Linux environments. After installation, you can configure your connection settings and access your server using the provided credentials.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions, please refer to the full guide available in our Tutorials. section.
Is it possible to scale up VPS server capacity?
Yes, you can create a virtual machine with a minimal configuration and then gradually increase the power.
For example, you can start with 1 vCPU / 2 GB RAM / 25 GB SSD and scale up to 4 vCPU / 16 GB RAM / 240 GB SSD.
The server runs in the new configuration immediately after reboot.
Do you have any API opportunities?
