Ubuntu 20.04 (and global template refresh!)

We're extremely pleased to say we've just completed a major upgrade for our VPS platform! This work involved the removal of "legacy" OpenVZ templates, to the new "EZ" template system. This provides a huge number of benefits over the previous template system, chief among which is the fact it makes keeping the templates up-to-date a breeze. This means that when you deploy a VPS with us or reinstall the OS on an existing VPS, you'll no longer need to run yum update or apt-get upgrade and have to wait for updates, as they'll already be done!

Consequently, you get a faster, more stable, and more secure VPS, right out the box!

Additionally, we've now added Ubuntu 20.04. Debian 8 has been removed, as it is End of Life. We recommend that all customers run one of the following OS', all of which are still supported by security updates at minimum:

CentOS 6
CentOS 7
CentOS 8
Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 20.04
Debian 9
Debian 10

To reinstall your VPS with one of the new templates, simply visit this link for instructions.

Thank you, and enjoy!

"Splendid service"

All tickets are handled in timely manner. One of the best customer attentions I've had in the last 15 years. I wholeheartedly recommend ethernetservers.com for their splendid service.

"Very happy"

I've been using Ethernet Servers since 2014, and they’ve always provided excellent service. I have many shared hosting accounts with them, and for the past five months, I’ve also been using their managed dedicated servers. What really stands out is their support. George, who I respectfully call Sir, is always there when I need help. He’s very knowledgeable and professional, and his assistance has made a big difference for me. If you’re looking for affordable and reliable web hosting, I highly recommend Ethernet Servers. They’ve been great to work with, and I’m very happy with their service. Thanks for everything!

"Service is excellent"

The service is excellent. George went above and beyond. In this day and age, it is very nice to have a real person that I can deal with rather than a chatbot or some nameless/faceless tech support department as is often the case at other hosting providers. Highly recommended.
