Why are the lists different?
Shopping cart = recommended defaults
A simplified list that avoids:- Very old or deprecated OS versions
- Niche or advanced setups
- Confusing duplicate entries
- Legacy LTS generations no longer recommended
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
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
