Every operating system has minimum requirements for the resources it needs to get up and running. When ordering a VDS server, you have the opportunity to choose an operating system, but the requirements for each of them may differ and for comfortable operation we recommend following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Below we have provided a list of operating systems and their minimum hardware requirements:
