Same specs and prices in Phoenix and Paris. Choose Debian at checkout and get full root access.
Rough estimate: an idle Debian server plus typical per-service use. Large databases or heavy builds need more.

That's beyond one server. Consider splitting the workload across two.

Debian at a glance
A clean Debian install with nothing extra running. Packages change only for security and serious bugs within a release, which is why Debian servers run for years.
Security support, then LTS until 2030.
LTS until June 2028.
LTS ends in 2026: move to 12 or 13.
Dates are Debian's own support windows (security team, then Debian LTS). Debian 10 no longer gets updates. The line marks today.

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
A Debian VPS is a virtual machine running Debian GNU/Linux that you manage over SSH with full root access. At FlashRDP it comes as Debian 13, 12, 11 or 10, or with a GNOME or XFCE desktop. It runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged: you install and update the software yourself.
Debian 13 (trixie) and 12 (bookworm) as minimal or Cloud Micro images, plus 11 and 10 for legacy software. Debian 10 no longer gets security updates. You can reinstall from the control panel at any time.
Run ssh root@your-server-ip with the password from your welcome email. Add your SSH key and turn off password login once you are in. See the connection guide.
Yes. Debian 13 is available with GNOME or XFCE preinstalled, and Debian 11 with a desktop too. Connect with a VNC or RDP client. For a Windows desktop, see Windows RDP.
Debian changes less often and installs smaller; Ubuntu ships newer packages and has the most third-party guides. Pick Debian for a server you set up once, Ubuntu for current toolchains.
No. The oldest image is Debian 10 (Buster), and it no longer gets standard security updates; Debian 7, 8 and 9 are further past end of life, so they are not offered. For old software, use the Debian 10 image or run the application in a container on Debian 12 or 13.
CentOS Linux 7 reached end of life in June 2024, and CentOS Stream now moves ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For a stable general server, Debian 12 or 13 is the simpler choice. If your software expects RHEL, use Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux; CentOS Stream 9 images are available too.
Yes. HestiaCP, Virtualmin and aaPanel install on the minimal Debian image. cPanel does not support Debian; use the AlmaLinux or Ubuntu image for it. Check each panel's list of supported Debian releases before you install.
Back up first, then point /etc/apt/sources.list (or sources.list.d) from bookworm to trixie and run apt update && apt full-upgrade. Or order a fresh Debian 13 server and move your data across.
A minimal Debian server idles around 200 MB, so Bronze (4 GB) has plenty of room for a web stack with its database. Larger databases and many containers suit Silver (8 GB) or Gold (16 GB).
No, it is unmanaged. You handle updates, backups and security inside the OS. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
