OnetSolutions offers a variety of operating systems for your VPS. Below you’ll find detailed information about available versions, release dates, and support timelines.

​
Linux Distributions

Debian is a widely-used, free and open-source Linux operating system known for its stability, security, and extensive package management system. It is favored for its commitment to free software principles and strong community support.
Ubuntu is a popular Linux-based operating system that offers a user-friendly interface and a vast software ecosystem. It is known for its ease of use, regular updates, and strong community support.
AlmaLinux is a community-driven, open-source Linux distribution designed as a drop-in replacement for CentOS. It provides a stable and secure operating system with long-term support.
Rocky Linux is a community-driven, enterprise-grade Linux distribution built as a successor to CentOS. It aims to provide a reliable, free, and open-source operating system for organizations seeking a stable platform.
CloudLinux is a commercial Linux distribution built on the RHEL codebase and designed for shared hosting. It isolates each account into its own lightweight container, so one site cannot exhaust the resources of the whole server.
CloudLinux requires a licence, which is billed separately from your VPS plan.
CentOS is a Linux distribution that focuses on stability, security, and long-term support, making it a reliable choice for server environments. It is based on the upstream source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
CentOS Stream is a rolling preview of the next RHEL release, not a long-term stable distribution. For a CentOS-like system, prefer AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux.

Windows Server licenses are not included with VPS plans. You must provide your own license or contact OnetSolutions for licensing options.
