Template availability can vary by location, virtualization platform, licensing, and upstream release lifecycle. “LATEST” tracks the current MSPClouds Fedora template. Windows licensing may be billed separately.
Deploy in minutes
From image selection to a working server without a ticket queue.
Select a plan, choose the data center, pick an available operating system template, add access credentials, and deploy. The goal is a repeatable workflow your team can use across customer environments.
What the deployment workflow gives you
- Standardized image selection for repeatable builds
- Location selected at checkout/deployment
- SSH-key or supported credential workflows
- Rebuild flexibility as customer requirements change
- Migration help when the source environment is elsewhere
Templates or custom ISO
Start from a template—or bring your own ISO.
Use an MSPClouds-maintained template when speed matters, or upload a compatible custom ISO when you need a specialized distribution, appliance, installer, or internal image.
Choose a standard image for faster provisioning and repeatable server builds across customer environments.
Bring compatible installation media for specialized workloads that are not represented by a standard template.
Use rebuild workflows to repurpose development systems, lab environments, and customer servers without replacing the VPS.
The MSPClouds difference
The operating system is only the starting point.
Your MSP still needs predictable infrastructure, support, migration help, private networking, storage options, and a platform that is practical to quote and resell.
- Cloud Compute and Memory Optimized choices
- Block and object storage options
- MSP-focused migration assistance
- Private connectivity for multi-server designs
- Predictable plan-based pricing
- Support from a team that understands service providers
Operating Systems FAQ
Answers before you deploy.
Common questions about templates, versions, Windows licensing, custom ISO images, rebuilds, and operating-system support.
Still have a question? Contact MSPClouds →Are all listed operating systems available in every location?+
Availability can vary by location and virtualization platform. The deployment interface is the source of truth for templates currently available in a selected location.
Can I upload my own ISO?+
Compatible custom ISO deployment is supported for specialized operating systems and installation media. Your image must be compatible with the virtual hardware and service policies.
Is Windows Server licensing included?+
Windows licensing may carry an additional charge and is subject to Microsoft licensing requirements. Confirm the applicable license cost during ordering or with MSPClouds before quoting the workload to a customer.
What does “LATEST” mean for Fedora?+
It means the Fedora template follows the current version offered by MSPClouds rather than locking the page to a specific release number.
Can I rebuild a server with a different operating system?+
Rebuild workflows are intended to make repurposing a VPS straightforward. Rebuilding is destructive, so back up or migrate any data you need before changing the server image.
Does MSPClouds manage the operating system for me?+
Standard VPS service provides infrastructure and platform support; operating-system administration remains the customer's responsibility unless a separate managed-service scope is purchased.
Which Ubuntu versions are listed?+
The current catalog on this page lists Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04. Actual template availability remains subject to the deployment platform and release lifecycle.
Can MSPClouds help migrate an existing Linux or Windows server?+
Yes. Migration assistance is a core part of the MSPClouds positioning and can include mapping the source workload to an appropriate target plan and planning the move.
