Ubuntu VPS
A minimal Ubuntu 24.04 LTS virtual private server — no pre-installed applications, no opinionated configuration, just the operating system and root access. Start from a clean slate and install exactly what you need: web servers, databases, development toolchains, CI runners, monitoring stacks, VPN endpoints, game servers, or anything else that runs on Linux. The server ships with apt package management, systemd service supervision, and standard networking configured out of the box, giving you access to over 36,000 packages in the Universe repository alone. Connect via SSH with the key you select during deployment; a dedicated IPv4 address is included with every server at no extra charge. A browser-based serial console in the RepoCloud dashboard provides emergency access without an SSH client. Snapshots let you capture the server state before risky changes and roll back with one click. Resize CPU and RAM on demand without reinstalling. Canonical's standard security maintenance covers this LTS release through May 2029 — five years of patches for the Main repository. Ubuntu Pro extends that to ten years with additional Universe coverage, kernel livepatching, and compliance tooling, available free for up to five machines.
