CentOS Stream 9 VPS: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions.
Is CentOS Stream the same as the old CentOS Linux?
No. CentOS Linux was a rebuild of finished RHEL releases. CentOS Stream sits just ahead of RHEL and receives changes before they appear in a RHEL release.
Should I run CentOS Stream 9 in production?
It suits servers where early access to changes is useful, such as staging and CI. For servers that should change as little as possible, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux is the steadier choice.
How are updates delivered?
Updates arrive continuously from the CentOS Stream repositories through DNF. Run dnf upgrade regularly and take a snapshot before large updates.
How fast is a new server ready?
boots.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes. You can move to a larger plan from the control panel. Your data and IP address stay the same.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No. Plans are billed monthly or yearly with no setup fee, and you can cancel at any time.
Which operating systems can I install?
Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Arch Linux, openSUSE, RouterOS and Windows Server, or any OS from your own ISO.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Every server sits behind always-on DDoS filtering at no extra cost.
