Linux VPS

FAQ

• How do I choose the right Linix VPS plan for my needs?
  • CPU Cores – Match processing power to your needs. Resource-heavy applications like databases and game servers require more cores.
  • RAM – Ensure smooth performance by selecting enough memory to handle multitasking and demanding workloads.
  • Storage – Opt for SSD storage for faster speeds and assess your needs for website files, databases, and other data.
  • Bandwidth – High traffic requires higher bandwidth to ensure seamless data transfer and prevent slowdowns.
• How do I set up a Linux VPS?

  Your Linux VPS is ready to use immediately after payment, with SSH access pre-configured. For added security, you can create an alternative user, change the SSH port, and update firewall settings to restrict access to authorized IPs. Beyond that, setup depends on your specific project requirements.

  
  

• How can I manage a Linux VPS?

  You can manage your VPS directly from the OS or through your account dashboard. The Order Management section allows you to start, stop, reboot, and access a backup console if SSH becomes unavailable.

  
  

• What is the difference between a Windows VPS and a Linux VPS?

  The main difference lies in the operating system. A Windows VPS runs on the Windows platform and is ideal for users who already rely on Microsoft products and are accustomed to remote desktop access via RDP. This allows for seamless integration with other Microsoft services such as Microsoft Office, SQL Server, and ASP.NET.

  
  

  In contrast, a Linux VPS is based on the Linux kernel. It offers a flexible and highly customizable platform, making it well suited for developers, system administrators, and advanced users. Linux VPSs are often more cost-effective and provide greater control over the server environment. They are popular among users who value open-source software and scripting. However, by default, they do not include a familiar graphical desktop environment with a window manager.

  
  

  Ultimately, the choice between a Windows VPS and a Linux VPS depends on your needs and preferences. If you are heavily invested in Microsoft technologies, a Windows VPS may be the better option. However, if you are looking for a more flexible, customizable, and affordable solution for development, testing, or website hosting, a Linux VPS is likely the best choice.

• What software can you install on a Linux VPS?

  With thousands of applications available, you can install software from official repositories, build from source code, or use convenient installation scripts from GitHub and similar platforms. Whether hosting websites, running databases, or deploying development tools, Linux offers almost endless possibilities.

  
  

• How can I obtain root access if the default user does not have root privileges?

  For security purposes, a user without root privileges is created by default in the OS.

  
  

  To get root rights, run the sudo -i command

  
  

  If you still want to allow the root user to connect to the server, run:

  
  

  1. Set a password for the root user:

  sudo passwd root

  2. Make changes to the SSH server configuration file with the command:

  sudo sed -i 's/^#\?PermitRootLogin.*/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  3. Restart the SSH server:

  sudo systemctl restart sshd
