Frequently Asked Questions

Rocky Linux VPS Hosting FAQ

Is Rocky Linux better than CentOS for VPS hosting?

Rocky Linux is the direct successor to CentOS Linux. It provides the same RHEL compatibility that CentOS offered, with the added guarantee of community governance. For VPS hosting, Rocky Linux offers identical stability and package availability as CentOS did.

What is the difference between Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux?

Both are RHEL-compatible distributions created after CentOS discontinuation. Rocky Linux is governed by RESF (community foundation), while AlmaLinux is backed by CloudLinux Inc. Technically they are nearly identical — choice often comes down to governance preference.

Is Rocky Linux free for commercial use?

Yes. Rocky Linux is completely free for personal and commercial use with no subscription required. There are no usage limits, no telemetry, and no vendor lock-in.
