Operating System Availability

EDIS Global provides a wide selection of operating systems for VPS deployments.

🛒 The shopping cart shows a curated, recommended list of operating systems.
These versions are selected for:
  • Stability and long-term support

  • Fastest deployment

Why Are The Lists Different?

A simplified list that avoids:
  • Very old or deprecated OS versions
  • Niche or advanced setups
  • Confusing duplicate entries
  • Legacy LTS generations no longer recommended
This ensures a smooth onboarding experience for new users.

​
VPS Control Panel = Full Flexibility

The dashboard exposes all available auto-install images, including:
  • Legacy templates still needed by existing customers
  • Older LTS releases
  • Additional builds and snapshots
  • Advanced OS options
  • Deprecated versions kept for compatibility
This allows experienced users full control over their environment.

​
Installing Other Operating Systems

Even if your preferred OS does not appear in the shopping cart, you can install anything via:

​
✔ Cloud-Init

Automatic configuration (users, SSH keys, packages, scripts).

​
✔ Manual VNC / ISO Installation

Boot into any installer:
  • FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSD
  • Custom Linux distributions
  • Security appliances
  • Custom ISO images
