What people run on Rocky Linux VPS servers
What is a Rocky Linux VPS?
A Rocky Linux VPS is a virtual machine running Rocky Linux, a free Red Hat Enterprise Linux-compatible distribution created as the successor to CentOS, managed over SSH with full root access. At FlashRDP it comes as Rocky Linux 10, 9 or 8. 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.
Rocky Linux VPS questions
Which Rocky Linux versions can I install?
Rocky Linux 10, 9 and 8, plus a desktop image for Rocky Linux 9. Reinstall another version from the control panel at any time.
How do I connect to my Rocky Linux VPS?
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.
Can I move my CentOS 7 server to Rocky Linux?
Yes. The cleanest path is a fresh Rocky Linux 9 or 10 server and copying your apps and data across. In-place tools such as ELevate exist, but take a full backup first.
Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux?
Both are free, RHEL-compatible and supported for about ten years per release. Choose the one your vendor certifies or your team knows; AlmaLinux is popular for cPanel servers.
Does cPanel or Plesk run on Rocky Linux?
Yes. cPanel and Plesk both support Rocky Linux, as do Webmin and Virtualmin. Install the panel on a fresh server and check the vendor's supported versions list for the Rocky release you pick.
Can I run Docker on Rocky Linux?
Yes, from Docker's own repository, or use Podman, which ships with Rocky Linux and accepts most Docker commands.
Is my Rocky Linux VPS managed?
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.
How long is each Rocky Linux version supported?
Rocky Linux 8 gets security updates until May 31, 2029, Rocky Linux 9 until May 31, 2032 and Rocky Linux 10 until May 31, 2035, per the Rocky Linux release guide. Active support for 9 ends May 31, 2027, so choose Rocky Linux 10 for a new server.
How much does a Rocky Linux VPS cost?
Rocky Linux runs on every plan, from $11.99/month with 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 50 GB SSD storage. Prices are the same in Phoenix and Paris, and you can pay with crypto or card.
