​
Why Ubuntu VPS

Ubuntu’s LTS releases — 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 — receive 5 years of security updates. This predictable support cycle makes Ubuntu the safe default for production servers where stability and upstream package availability matter.
The FlashRDP Advantage: Because web applications require consistent I/O performance, FlashRDP builds every Ubuntu VPS on KVM virtualization with dedicated NVMe storage — no shared OpenVZ containers, no noisy neighbors.
  • FlashRDP builds Ubuntu VPS servers on KVM virtualization.
  • FlashRDP connects Ubuntu VPS servers to a 1Gbps port network.

​
Common Use Cases for Ubuntu VPS

  1. LAMP/LEMP Web Hosting: Deploy Apache or Nginx with MySQL/MariaDB and PHP on Ubuntu’s apt-managed package base.
  2. Docker and Containers: Ubuntu’s native Docker Engine support makes it the go-to host for containerized microservices.
  3. Node.js and Python APIs: Run Express, FastAPI, or Django applications with full control over runtime versions via NVM or pyenv.
  4. CI/CD Runners: Ubuntu is the default OS for GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, GitLab CI agents, and Jenkins workers.
