VDS Operating System Selection Guide
A mature LTS release that still offers broad software compatibility in 2026; a safe choice for teams with existing 22.04 playbooks.
Proven production stability and a support window that can be extended with ESM.
At the order step, choose the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS template.
| Version | 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) |
|---|---|
| Base | Debian derivative |
| Package manager | apt |
| Kernel | 5.15 HWE or 6.x |
| Architecture | x86_64 |
| Init | systemd |
| LTS / support | 2027 (standard), 2032 with ESM |
| Container | Docker CE, Podman |
The recommendations below are for general guidance; actual needs vary with traffic and application architecture.
| Use | Resources | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Light API / blog | 2 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | Entry level |
| Multiple sites + MySQL | 2–4 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | Medium resources |
| Monitoring stack | 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | More RAM for Elasticsearch |
| cPanel | ✕ Not supported |
| Plesk | ✓ Supported |
| DirectAdmin | ✓ Supported |
| Docker | ✓ Supported |
| Nginx | ✓ Supported |
| Apache | ✓ Supported |
| LiteSpeed | ✓ Supported |

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is a Linux distribution release published in April 2022. Kernel/base: 5.15 HWE or 6.x. Default components: Python 3.10, OpenSSL 3.0, systemd, AppArmor. In a VDS environment, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is delivered as a virtual machine with root/Administrator access and IPv4/IPv6 support, through SistemDC automatic provisioning or the KVM console. The support window means security patches are available until 2027 (standard) or 2032 (with ESM), which makes hosting costs predictable. At the KVM hypervisor layer, dedicated vCPUs and NVMe I/O deliver consistent performance without noisy neighbours. On an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VDS, the hostname, SSH key and package updates can be automated with cloud-init (on supported templates) or the SistemDC post-install script. For disk I/O, keep the NVMe queue depth high; for PostgreSQL/MySQL the vm.swappiness=10 sysctl setting is recommended. Logrotate and journald prevent the disk from filling up. Monitoring: a lightweight setup with node_exporter + Prometheus or Netdata. If you use containers, after an apt-based Docker/Podman installation run containers as non-root and define cgroup v2 limits. SistemDC's Istanbul POP delivers low jitter for traffic within Turkey, without carrier-grade NAT.
Choose Ubuntu 22.04 LTS if…
When? For new installations
When? More minimal and stable
When? A hosting panel environment
Typical use cases for an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VDS: legacy PHP 7.4/8.1 projects, Elasticsearch 7.x, Redis clusters, Zabbix/Prometheus monitoring, OpenVPN. Thanks to the Turkey location, local users get a fast TTFB with 5–15 ms ping domestically. On Ryzen VDS plans, high single-core GHz is preferred for game servers and Discord bot workloads. With SistemDC NVMe disks, random-I/O-heavy database queries see 5–10x lower latency than on an HDD VDS. Under heavy traffic the Stormwall DDoS filter kicks in automatically at the network layer. For CDN origin, reverse proxy caching and static asset delivery, optimise the Nginx/Apache configuration on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with HTTP/2 and Brotli compression; for users in Turkey, the origin location directly improves the SEO Core Web Vitals LCP score.
When ordering a SistemDC VDS, choose Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as the template. After the first login, run apt update && apt upgrade -y to update the packages. Hostname: hostnamectl set-hostname server.yourdomain.com. Time zone: timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Istanbul. Create a new user with sudo privileges and disable root SSH login. Verify the network configuration (netplan/NetworkManager/ifcfg). On low-RAM plans you can add a 1–2 GB swapfile. Installing Fail2ban is recommended.
SSH hardening: /etc/ssh/sshd_config — set PermitRootLogin no, PasswordAuthentication no (use an ED25519 key), with an optional port change. UFW firewall: ufw allow 22/tcp (or your custom SSH port), ufw allow 80,443/tcp, ufw enable. Block SSH brute-force attempts with Fail2ban: apt install fail2ban. Automatic security updates: on Ubuntu/Debian unattended-upgrades; on Rocky/Alma/Fedora dnf-automatic or a cron-based apt update. SistemDC Stormwall network-layer DDoS protection is standard. SSH guide: Linux SSH Security.
A Linux VDS environment has no physical sleep/hibernate mode; the virtual machine is kept running continuously by the hypervisor (N/A). Power management is provided on the server side with 24/7 active uptime; systemd sleep targets are disabled in the server templates.
In the VDS order flow in the SistemDC client area, open the Operating System step and choose the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS template. For general web/API, choose the Intel Xeon TR-VDS plans; for gaming, bots and high GHz, choose Ryzen VDS. For control panel installation, see our application setup guides for details. Category: VDS plans.
Is an Ubuntu 22.04 VDS still supported?
Yes; it receives security updates until 2027.
Should I choose 22.04 or 24.04?
24.04 for new projects; 22.04 if you have an existing 22.04 dependency.
Is Ubuntu 22.04 still supported?
Yes; free security updates until 2027, extendable with ESM.
Can PHP 8.3 be installed on a 22.04 VDS?
Possible with the ondrej/php PPA or Remi-style repositories; pin the version in production.
Which Docker version on Jammy?
Docker CE 24.x+ is installed from the official repository; use the compose v2 plugin.
