Rocky Linux FAQ

What to know before you order, and right after.

What is Rocky Linux?

Rocky Linux is an open source enterprise operating system, designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, whose sources it rebuilds directly. It is developed by its community, and its trademark belongs to the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation.

Is Rocky Linux free?

Yes. Rocky Linux is free and open source, with no subscription or licence key: the distribution brings together free software released under its own licences (GPL, MIT, BSD…). The prices on this page are those of the VPS.

Rocky Linux 10 or Rocky Linux 9: which one should I pick?

Rocky Linux 10 is preselected: it is the latest version, with active support until 31 May 2030 and maintained until its end of life on 31 May 2035. Rocky Linux 9 remains available for software not yet validated on version 10: active support until 31 May 2027, end of life on 31 May 2032. You can reinstall the server on the other version from the console, which erases its data.

What is the minimum configuration?

Rocky Linux installs from 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk: every plan on this page exceeds that minimum. Size the server for what you will run on it instead.

How do I log in to the server?

Once the server is created, log in over SSH with its IP address and the access details shown in the console, or with an SSH key added at creation. The KVM console, in your browser, also gives you access to the server without SSH. The system is installed as a minimal, command-line-only setup.

Who maintains the system and its updates?

The Rocky Linux project publishes the distribution updates; you apply them with dnf, whenever you choose. Our support covers the VPS: the server, its network, its storage and its availability. The system, its configuration and the software you install remain your responsibility, with full root access.

Is my data backed up?

Add the daily VPS backup option (from €0.99 excl. VAT/month), and take a snapshot before a sensitive operation such as a system update: your first snapshot is free. Without that option, the server data is not backed up for you.

Can I install a control panel on Rocky Linux?

Not automatically: each of our control panels installs on its own system. For cPanel & WHM, pick it when you order: it is installed on AlmaLinux 10, another RHEL-compatible distribution, on a plan with at least 2 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 40 GB of disk; a cPanel licence, bought from cPanel, is required after the trial.

Does One Click Apps work on Rocky Linux?

No. One Click Apps needs a VPS running Debian or Ubuntu: to deploy an application in one click, pick it when you order and the right system is installed for you. On Rocky Linux, you install your software yourself, with dnf or in containers.

Can I migrate a CentOS server to Rocky Linux?

Yes. The Rocky Linux project provides the migrate2rocky script free of charge, which converts a server from another Enterprise Linux distribution in place. On a new VPS, the simplest path is often to install Rocky Linux 10 and transfer your data.
