Brian Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Small announcement but figured it was worth posting, we now have CentOS 6 available on the order form for your VPS orders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunwitch Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I have never been running my own VPS, but looks like I may need to upgrade soon and now trying to decide if I'll be able to manage it properly. I'm using HawkHost shared services for 3+ years, but everything is pre-configured there and it's CloudLinux. So could you please advice: which OS is the better option, if amount of memory is low (most basic VPS with 256 or 384 MB of RAM)? CentOS 5 or 6? Or Debian 5? (I don't think that I'll be considering Fedora, Ubuntu or Gentoo) According to your experience, do these OSs somehow differ in speed and memory requirements?

Brian Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 If you're using shared hosting and upgrading to a VPS, odds are you're going to want to use cPanel/WHM on the VPS as well. In that case CentOS 6 is going to be your best bet, as Debian is not a supported platform for cPanel/WHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
