What is a Linux VPS?
A Linux VPS is a KVM virtual machine that runs its own Linux kernel with dedicated RAM, reserved vCPU cores, NVMe storage and full root access over SSH. Other customers share the physical host, but not your memory, your disk or your operating system.
That isolation is what separates it from shared hosting, where you get an account with no root. Compared with a Windows VPS, Linux needs no Windows Server licence and runs PHP, Python, Node.js and Docker natively. Sizes for every operating system sit on the VPS hosting hub; this page stays on Linux distributions, root access and server upkeep.
Who should run a Linux VPS?
A Linux VPS suits teams that have outgrown shared hosting limits and are comfortable at a command line, or that want WebJi®'s managed tier to handle the upkeep. If the stack needs ASP.NET, MS SQL or a remote desktop, choose a Windows VPS instead.
- Agencies hosting several client WordPress sites under cPanel/WHM or CyberPanel.
- WooCommerce stores whose checkout slows down on shared CPU during sale days.
- Developers deploying Node.js, Django, Laravel or containers with their own runtime versions.
- SaaS teams that need cron jobs, queues and background workers a shared account will not allow.
- Staging servers that mirror production before a release.
Linux VPS sample configurations and price in India
Linux VPS entry sizing starts from ₹499 a month before 18% GST, and the three sample builds below are quoted per requirement in INR before you pay. There is no free Linux VPS tier, no dollar price converted at checkout, and overseas origins such as Singapore, the US, Germany or the UK are quoted the same way.
| Sample configuration | Specs | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| VPS-Start | 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 60 GB NVMe · 2 TB transfer | Blogs, brochure sites, staging | Get Custom Quote → |
| VPS-Growth | 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 120 GB NVMe · 4 TB transfer | WooCommerce stores, growing apps | Get Custom Quote → |
| VPS-Pro | 8 vCPU · 16 GB RAM · 240 GB NVMe · 8 TB transfer | High-traffic sites, SaaS deploys | Get Custom Quote → |
Every invoice is in INR with 18% GST shown, monthly or longer terms. Name the OS image and any panel in the quote request so it is installed at provisioning.
Which Linux distribution should your VPS run?
Ubuntu LTS is the safe default for most Linux VPS builds; choose AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux when you plan to run cPanel or CyberPanel, and Debian when you want the leanest base. WebJi® pre-installs the image you name in the quote.
| Distribution | Support window | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | Standard support to April 2029 | You follow online guides, run Node.js or Docker, or want the largest community |
| Debian 13 “trixie” | Current stable since August 2025 | You want a minimal, conservative base with few surprises |
| AlmaLinux 9 | Supported to 2032 | You need an RHEL-compatible system for cPanel/WHM or CyberPanel |
| Rocky Linux 9 | Supported to 2032 | Same RHEL family as AlmaLinux, preferred by some teams for tooling |
| CentOS 7 | End of life 30 June 2024 | Only for migrating an old server off it — do not start new projects |

Bare SSH, cPanel/WHM or CyberPanel on a Linux VPS
Run the VPS bare over SSH if you are comfortable in a terminal; add a control panel when you host sites for others or want a browser interface. The panel choice also changes how much RAM you need.
- Bare SSH — lightest and cheapest; you manage Nginx or Apache, PHP and databases yourself.
- cPanel/WHM — budget the 2026 licence from cPanel's store ($29.99/month Solo, $35.99/month for up to 5 accounts) plus about 2 GB RAM for the panel itself.
- CyberPanel — OpenLiteSpeed with a clean interface at zero licence cost; a good fit for WordPress-heavy servers.
The security baseline every Linux VPS needs
Root access means the operating system's security is your job on an unmanaged Linux VPS, so lock it down on the first day. These controls stop most automated attacks that hit any public IP within hours of provisioning.
- SSH keys only: disable password login and, where possible, direct root login.
- Firewall: ufw or CSF open only on the ports you use — typically 22, 80 and 443.
- fail2ban on SSH and panel logins to block repeated guessing.
- Unattended security updates for the kernel and packages.
- Snapshots before every configuration change, plus a nightly database dump to off-server storage.
- Log limits: journald size caps and log rotation so a noisy service cannot fill the disk.
For off-server copies without writing scripts, the Backup.Help plan is ₹1,300 a month with 200 GB of remote space; see VPS server backup.
Unmanaged or managed Linux VPS?
Unmanaged gives you root and leaves OS patching to you; managed keeps patching, monitoring with alerts and panel maintenance with WebJi®'s desk. If nobody on your team will read security advisories every week, the managed tier is cheaper than a breach.
Either way, WebJi® engineers migrate existing cPanel accounts, databases and email free. Support is by email at support@webji.services, 24/7 in Hindi and English with an average first reply under 60 minutes; the office phone +91 141 4941811 works business hours. Monthly uptime is counted against a 99.9% target with a public status history. The wider comparison is in managed vs unmanaged hosting.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect to a Linux VPS the first time?
Open a terminal and run ssh root@your-server-ip with the IP and credentials from the provisioning email; PuTTY does the same on Windows. If SSH refuses the connection, email support@webji.services with the IP and the desk will check it with you.
Can I change the Linux distribution after the VPS is live?
Yes, by reinstalling a different OS image, which wipes the disk. Take a snapshot and copy your data off first, then ask support to reinstall the image you want and restore your sites onto it.
How much RAM does a WordPress Linux VPS need?
A single WordPress site with caching runs on the 4 GB VPS-Start sample. Add about 2 GB if cPanel/WHM runs on the same server, and move to the 8 GB VPS-Growth sample for a busy WooCommerce store.
Is Docker allowed on a WebJi® Linux VPS?
Yes. KVM gives the VPS its own kernel, so Docker and Docker Compose install as on any Linux server. Budget disk for images and volumes, and keep the firewall rules in front of any container ports you publish.
Can I upgrade a Linux VPS without reinstalling?
Yes. NVMe storage on a WebJi® VPS is upgraded without a reinstall, and larger RAM or vCPU sizes are arranged the same way through support. The new size is quoted in INR, before 18% GST, before anything changes.
