Hi Tim, Yes, the Vultr admin panel is extremely accessible, even down to rebooting, stopping and destroying servers. I have no problem with that, since I've used it for years with a Windows server. I think I'm going to use something like Debian. They also have one click installers for WordPress, CPanel, etc, so it shouldn't be hard. Thanks again for your help.

As mentioned here, as a headless server, all the access-tech would be on your local end, so as long as you have an SSH connection, the rest doesn't matter much. So I'd pick the server operating system based on how easy it is to administer, and how easy it is to fix things when they go wrong. Thus, I'd tend to lean towards a Linux distro that favors stability (like Debian or CentOS) over bleeding-edge distros. So what might matter the most is the accessibility of the admin-panel for your hosting service. I.e., how accessible is Vultr's admin panel, and can you use the remote console accessibly? Because sometimes I've had to boot into a rescue environment via the web (usually some sort of VNC under the hood) which isn't very accessible. That said, I've moved all my VPS instances over to running OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but I still administer them primarily over SSH, the same as I used to do with my Linux servers. -Tim > In headless mode, the distro that you will pick is not relevent as you > will do everything from the CLI! _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
