Plan finderTell us what you'll run. We'll size the server.
Rough estimate: an idle Ubuntu Server plus typical per-service use. Large databases, Java apps or heavy builds need more.

That's beyond one server. Consider splitting the workload across two.
Deploy BronzeHow it works
SSH in from anything. Ubuntu does the work.
Use the terminal on macOS or Linux, Windows Terminal or PuTTY, or an SSH app on your phone. Your services keep running on the server after you log out.

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
What people run on an Ubuntu VPS
What is an Ubuntu VPS?
An Ubuntu VPS is a virtual machine running Ubuntu Server that you manage over SSH with full root access. At FlashRDP 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, update and secure the software yourself.
Ubuntu VPS questions
Which Ubuntu versions can I install?
Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04 and 20.04 LTS as minimal Server images, 24.04 and 22.04 as Cloud Micro images, and 18.04 LTS for legacy software. You can reinstall with another version or another distribution from the control panel at any time.
How do I connect to my Ubuntu VPS?
Run ssh root@your-server-ip with the password from your welcome email, from any terminal or SSH app. Add your SSH key and turn off password login once you are in. See the connection guide.
Is it Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop?
Ubuntu Server, managed from the command line. With root access you can install a desktop such as XFCE and connect with xrdp or VNC, but if you want a graphical desktop first, Windows RDP is the better fit.
How much RAM do I need?
Ubuntu Server idles well under 1 GB. Bronze (4 GB) runs a web app with its database; Silver (8 GB) handles several Docker containers; Gold (16 GB) and up suit larger databases, Java apps and CI runners.
Can I run Docker on it?
Yes. KVM gives you a full kernel, so Docker and Podman run natively. The image ships without Docker; install it with apt or Docker's official script. Sizing and setup are on Ubuntu VPS for Docker.
Ubuntu or Debian?
Ubuntu ships newer packages and has the most third-party guides; Debian changes less often and installs smaller. Pick Ubuntu for current toolchains, Debian for a server you rarely want to touch.
Can I install a control panel on Ubuntu?
Yes. cPanel, Plesk, HestiaCP and CloudPanel all support recent Ubuntu LTS releases. Install the panel on a fresh server and check the vendor's list of supported Ubuntu versions first.
Is the server managed?
No, it is unmanaged. You handle updates (apt update && apt upgrade), backups and security inside the OS. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
Do I get my own IP address?
Yes. Every server has its own IPv4 address, a 1 Gbps port and Layer 4 DDoS filtering.
