New VPS OS Images: AlmaLinux 10, Windows Server 2025 & More

We have expanded the operating system library available when you deploy or rebuild a VPS. Five new images are now live alongside our existing selection, covering the latest releases across the major Linux families and Windows.

What is new

  • AlmaLinux 10 - the community RHEL-compatible distribution, ideal for enterprise and production Linux workloads that want long-term stability.
  • Windows Server 2025 - the newest Windows Server release, with the latest features and longest support window.
  • Alpine - a minimal, security-oriented distribution that is perfect for containers and lightweight services.
  • Debian 13 - the latest stable Debian, a rock-solid general-purpose choice trusted across the industry.
  • openSUSE 16 - a polished, flexible distribution popular with developers and sysadmins.

How to choose

For most server workloads, a current Debian or AlmaLinux release is a safe default. Choose Alpine if you are building container images or want the smallest possible footprint. Pick Windows Server 2025 if your application requires Windows - and remember that all new Windows VMs are licensed by default.

Available on new builds and rebuilds

You can select any of these images when deploying a new VPS, or rebuild an existing server to switch. A rebuild wipes the server, so back up your data first. As always, our goal is to keep the OS library current so you are never stuck on an end-of-life release.
