What Will You Run on AlmaLinux?

AlmaLinux VPS handles any server workload — 24/7 on dedicated hardware.

Ex-CentOS Workloads

The natural next step after CentOS 7/8 EOL. Same tools, same commands, no vendor lock-in.

Enterprise Java

Oracle JDK, Tomcat, WildFly — RHEL-tested Java stacks, license-free base OS.

Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB — enterprise-grade OS, no runtime cost.

cPanel / DirectAdmin Hosting

RHEL-family OS, fully supported by every major hosting panel.

SELinux Workloads

Same hardening story as RHEL — compliance-friendly by default.

Docker & Podman Hosts

Podman-first (Red Hat's daemonless container runtime), Docker still works.

From order to root SSH in under a minute.
