What operating system to choose for VPS?

Linux is Open Source software so the price of VDS servers featuring an operating system based on it is lower. Where price is determining factor, choosing a cheap VPS based on Linux is a suitable option. Well suited for hosting sites, mail, corporate portals, testing applications, etc.

Windows Server is a paid solution and the price of a virtual server based on it is higher. However, this OS is the most familiar and understandable for most users while featuring the greatest compatibility with additional software. There is a huge amount of software that is compatible with Windows only. Such factors can become fundamental, when answering the question "which VPS to choose". Windows server is good for remote jobs and software programs that are supported by this operating system only.

What server parameters to choose?

It is not possible to immediately give a clear answer to this question as it would depend on your personal needs and each particular scenario. However, please keep in mind minimum resource requirements to performing certain tasks. For example, for the sake of reducing their floor price, some service providers may offer rates with highly understated parameters that would be unable to cope with elementary tasks. Please note that the operating system of the server will use part of the resources by itself. Therefore, normally, the minimum parameters of virtual server configurations based on Windows, which is more resource-intensive, are higher than those of Linux based servers.

In the event that there is no suitable virtual server among the configurations offered by us, you can use the calculator to set up customized configuration – you can adjust the number of processor cores and amount of RAM or hard disk, including its type: ordinary HDD or fast SSD.
