Consider that OVHcloud provides VPS Distributions for just about every popular Linux server OS, and we can even offer VPS Windows services to you as well.

Installing Rocky Linux on your VPS is a breeze, especially with the help of provider-specific tools. To get started, access your VPS via Secure Shell (SSH) using your server's IP address, username, and password.

OVHcloud also offers a convenient web-based control panel for managing your Rocky Linux VPS, often including tools for OS installation.

You'll have a couple of installation options. You can opt for a manual installation, which involves mounting the ISO image to your VPS (typically using a virtual CD/DVD drive within your control panel) and booting from it. You'll then follow the on-screen prompts to partition your disk, configure network settings, and set up user accounts.

OVHcloud offers Rocky Linux VPS solutions with both IPv4 and IPv6 support. This provides customers with greater flexibility in managing network configurations compared to IPv4 only and future-proofing their online presence through IPv6, with its vastly larger address space.

Rocky Linux is a great choice for running Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM). As a stable and reliable Linux distribution, it provides a solid foundation for virtualization. KVM, built into the Linux kernel, allows you to turn your Rocky Linux system into a hypervisor capable of hosting multiple isolated virtual machines.

This means you can run various KVM operating systems and applications on a single physical machine, maximizing resource utilization and improving efficiency. Rocky Linux, with its commitment to open-source and community support, ensures that your KVM environment is both robust and cost-effective for KVM.

Harness the combined strengths of Rocky Linux’s robust platform and OVHcloud's cutting-edge infrastructure and powerful CPU choices - alongside a hefty load of RAM and SSD capacity, all billed monthly. Enjoy unparalleled flexibility in configurations and cost-effective VPS solutions tailored to your needs.

Both Rocky Linux and CentOS are Linux distributions built from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Essentially, they offer a way to use RHEL without the cost of licensing and support.

However, their origins and development approaches differ. CentOS was initially a community project that created a 1:1 binary-compatible clone of RHEL. Red Hat acquired CentOS and eventually changed its direction, making CentOS Stream a rolling-release distribution that acts as a testing ground for RHEL.

This change led to the creation of Rocky Linux by Gregory Kurtzer, a founder of the original CentOS project. Rocky Linux aims to carry on the legacy of CentOS by providing a stable, community-driven, and truly open-source alternative to RHEL.

It follows a more traditional release cycle, like the old CentOS, focusing on stability and providing point releases with bug fixes and security updates. In contrast, CentOS Stream has a rolling release model with continuous updates, which can lead to less predictability.
