What Linux distributions are supported on Linux Dedicated Servers?

Cyfuture Cloud provides Linux Dedicated Servers with support for a wide range of popular Linux distributions to meet diverse hosting needs.​

Supported Distributions

Cyfuture Cloud offers pre-installed Linux distributions optimized for dedicated servers, ensuring high performance, security, and compatibility. Key options include Ubuntu LTS for its user-friendly interface and vast community support, CentOS and AlmaLinux for enterprise stability as RHEL alternatives, Debian for rock-solid reliability in production environments, and Fedora for cutting-edge features.

Arch Linux caters to advanced users seeking lightweight, customizable setups, while Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE provide robust enterprise-grade solutions. These distributions come in 64-bit architectures, with specific versions like Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS, CentOS Stream 9/10, Debian 11/12, and AlmaLinux 8/9 available during server setup.

Dedicated servers allow full root access, enabling custom installations beyond pre-built options if the distribution is Linux kernel-compatible. Cyfuture Cloud's infrastructure supports rapid deployment, often within minutes, across these distros.​

Key Features and Benefits

Each supported distribution offers unique strengths for dedicated server hosting. Ubuntu excels in ease of use with extensive package repositories (APT), ideal for web apps and development.​

CentOS and AlmaLinux prioritize long-term stability with YUM/DNF package management, perfect for databases and mission-critical services post-CentOS Linux EOL. Debian emphasizes security and minimalism, suiting high-traffic sites. Fedora delivers the latest kernel and software via DNF, great for testing new tech.
