How to understand the commonly used operating system selection problem on vps, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following small series will explain in detail for everyone, people who have this need can learn, I hope you can gain something.

The most common operating systems used on vps are linux (there are multiple distributions), freeBSD, windows server, etc. Generally speaking, vps operating system is not free to install, linux series vps can install multiple linux distributions, but can not install windows; relatively, windows series vps can not modify linux. This is the first thing to consider when buying, according to your needs to determine which vps to buy

I strongly recommend the use of linux: linux high efficiency, low requirements for hardware configuration; high security; no need to run graphical interface, you can freely streamline unnecessary functions, save system resources to run applications; rich and diverse network application software, some software does not have windows version, or windows version effect is not good; low cost.

Linux Distribution Options: Linux has many different versions (distributions), the most commonly used are redhat series (representing redhat, centos, fedora) and debian series (representing debian, ubuntu), the most commonly used on vps are centos, ubuntu; other common modifications are arch, OpenSUSE, etc. There is little difference between different versions, depending on which you are familiar with, which you have a good impression of, which one to use. If you're new, centos or ubuntu is recommended, especially ubuntu, the response is pretty good; I personally prefer centos 6 because I'm more familiar with it.

32-bit or 64-bit operating system? Very responsible to tell you, do not hesitate to choose 32! Unless you have much more than 4GB of vps memory, or if you want to run software that can only run at 64 bits. 32-bit reasons: run the same program, 32-bit memory occupied small;vps on the use of 32-bit absolute majority of people, 64-bit and 32-bit in some places are different, there are difficult problems, 32-bit easier to find information, find friends to help solve.
