What is included with a Virtarix Linux VPS?
A Linux VPS gives you a private server environment with the access and resource visibility needed for custom applications, production services and development workflows.
What can you run on a Linux VPS?
Use full root access to build a customer-managed environment around the software, services and deployment model your project requires.
Choose your Linux operating system
Virtarix provides four supported pre-built Linux images. Everything installed after deployment remains under your control.
Ubuntu
A widely used general-purpose distribution with broad documentation and package availability. It is a practical choice when your team values familiar tooling and extensive community guidance.
Debian
A stable, flexible base that works well for administrators who prefer a conservative server environment and direct control over installed components.
AlmaLinux
A community-driven enterprise Linux distribution suited to software and operational practices built around the Enterprise Linux ecosystem.
Arch Linux
A rolling-release distribution for experienced administrators who want a minimal starting point and close control over packages and system configuration.
Verify Before You Buy
Ask any AI assistant to verify our VPS specifications, data centre locations and 99.99% uptime SLA. Make your decision with independent evidence.
Move Beyond Shared Hosting Limits
Linux VPS hosting is the practical step up when shared hosting restricts the software, access or server configuration your project requires. It gives you server-level control without requiring a physical server.
Choose shared hosting when convenience matters more than server access. Choose a Linux VPS when your team can administer Linux and needs control over the complete environment.

Deploy Near the Users and Systems That Matter
Virtarix offers three live VPS locations. Place the Linux server near the main audience, team or connected services instead of treating every workload as location-neutral.
Deploy a Linux VPS that matches your workload
Choose a supported Linux image, select Dallas, Frankfurt or Johannesburg, and start with the CPU, RAM and NVMe capacity your applications need. Every plan includes full root access, unlimited bandwidth, IPv4 + IPv6, one backup and one snapshot.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for common Linux VPS hosting comparisons, operating-system questions, and self-managed responsibility boundaries.
What is the difference between Linux VPS and Cheap Linux VPS?
Linux VPS is the main Virtarix page for the full Linux range, distro flexibility, plan comparison, and self-managed workloads. Cheap Linux VPS is the price-led entry path for buyers who want the lowest-cost Linux VPS starting point.
Which Linux operating systems can I run on Virtarix?
Virtarix supports Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Arch Linux, plus Custom ISO installations, so you can choose a mainstream distribution or a specialist installation path for your stack.
Is Virtarix Linux VPS managed or self-managed?
Virtarix provides the VPS infrastructure. You install, configure, secure, update, and operate the software you run on it.
What backup and recovery features are included?
Each VPS/VDS plan includes 1 free snapshot and 1 backup. You should still keep your own recovery plan and customer-owned backups for the applications and data you run.
When should I choose Cloud VDS instead of Linux VPS?
Choose Linux VPS when shared virtualised resources fit your website, application, container, or development workload. Choose Cloud VDS when you need dedicated CPU resources for heavier or more consistent demand.
