Ubuntu VPS Hosting India

Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04 or 22.04 LTS — provisioned in Delhi NCR inside an hour.

Pick your Ubuntu release, tell us what you're running, and we hand you a VMware-backed VPS in Delhi NCR inside an hour. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS — or upload your own ISO if you have a hardened image you already trust.

Every plan is fully managed. You get root, and you also get our engineers on the same server when something breaks at 2am. Plans from ₹249/month with NVMe SSD, unlimited bandwidth and DDoS protection. If you're comparing distributions first, start at our Linux VPS hosting page.

Choose Your Release

Which Ubuntu version should you deploy?

This is the first real decision, and most VPS providers dodge it. Here's the straight answer.

Ubuntu release	Codename	Released	Security updates until	Use it if
26.04 LTS	Resolute Raccoon	April 2026	April 2031	New builds with no control-panel requirement. Newest kernel, newest PHP/Python/Node from the repos.
24.04 LTS	Noble Numbat	April 2024	April 2029	The safe default. The only Ubuntu release cPanel currently supports, and the newest one Plesk supports.
22.04 LTS	Jammy Jellyfish	April 2022	April 2027	Legacy applications pinned to older library versions, or a like-for-like migration from an existing 22.04 box.
20.04 LTS	Focal Fossa	April 2020	Ended May 2025 (ESM only)	Only if an application genuinely won't run on anything newer. We'll deploy it, but we'll tell you to plan a migration.

We deploy interim releases (25.10, 26.10) on request too, but we don't recommend them for production. They get nine months of updates and then you're doing a distribution upgrade whether you wanted to or not.

The control panel trap nobody warns you about

If you plan to run cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin on your Ubuntu VPS, do not deploy Ubuntu 26.04 yet. cPanel & WHM qualifies exactly one Ubuntu LTS at a time, and right now that's 24.04. Plesk's newest supported release is also 24.04, with 26.04 support targeted for later in 2026. DirectAdmin covers 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04.

Want a control panel? Deploy Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Command line only, Docker, or a custom stack? Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is fine and gives you a longer runway.

We see people get this wrong roughly twice a month. They deploy the newest Ubuntu, then find their cPanel licence won't install and need a rebuild. Ask us first and we'll save you the reinstall.

Managed, Specifically

What "fully managed Ubuntu VPS" actually means here

Most hosts use "managed" to mean "we'll reboot it if you ask." Here's what our team handles on an Ubuntu VPS.

What our engineers handle

Initial hardening — SSH key setup, root login policy, ufw or iptables baseline, fail2ban
OS and package updates, including unattended-upgrades so security patches land without you watching
Control panel installation and licensing — cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel or Webmin, on request
Web stack setup — Nginx or Apache, PHP-FPM with the version you need, MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL
SSL issue and renewal, including Let's Encrypt automation
Service failure diagnosis — when MySQL won't start or PHP-FPM is eating RAM, you raise a ticket, we get on the box
OS reinstall on request, to a different Ubuntu release or a different distribution entirely

What stays with you

Your application code, your database schema, your deployment pipeline, your third-party scripts. We keep the server healthy. You keep shipping.

If you'd rather we didn't touch the box at all, say so — plenty of our developer customers use us as pure infrastructure and never open a ticket. That's fine too.

Infrastructure

The platform underneath

VMware virtualization — not OpenVZ, not containers

Your Ubuntu VPS is a genuine virtual machine with its own kernel. That matters more than it sounds: you can load kernel modules, run Docker properly, set your own sysctl values, and use WireGuard without asking permission. Container-based VPS platforms — still common at the cheap end of the Indian market — can't do any of that reliably.

Custom ISO supported

If your team maintains a hardened Ubuntu image, or you need a specific kernel build, upload the ISO and we'll mount it. Try getting that from a cloud panel.

Delhi NCR data centre, on our own network

Single region, deliberately. Our Ubuntu VPS fleet runs out of our Delhi NCR facility on eWebGuru's own network (AS133643), which means routes to Indian ISPs are short and we control the peering rather than reselling somebody else's transit. If you need Mumbai, ask — we run there too, but our Ubuntu VPS stock is Delhi NCR.

NVMe SSD storage across every tier

No SATA SSD tier, no spinning disk fallback. Every plan on this page sits on NVMe.

IP addressing — one IPv4 included, up to five

One dedicated IPv4 per VPS. You can order up to five in total, but additional IPv4 requires a stated technical reason — separate SSL endpoints, mail reputation separation, a licensing requirement. IPv4 is genuinely scarce in APNIC's region and we don't hand out addresses that will sit idle. It's not a sales tactic, it's an allocation justification requirement we're bound by.

Provisioning in under one hour

From cleared payment, usually much less. You get root credentials and an IP by email.

Sizing

Is an Ubuntu VPS the right size for you?

Compare it against what you'd move up from, and what you'd move up to.

You've outgrown shared hosting when any of these are true:

Your site gets suspended or throttled for CPU or entry-process limits during traffic spikes
You need a PHP extension, Python package or system binary your host won't install
You need Redis, Memcached, Elasticsearch, or a queue worker running as a daemon
Your database has grown past the point where shared MySQL performance is predictable
You need root to debug your own application
You're running a Node.js or Python application at all, rather than PHP

	Shared Hosting	Ubuntu VPS
Root access	No	Yes, on every plan
Install system packages	No	`apt install` anything
Kernel modules, Docker, WireGuard	No	Yes (true VM, not a container)
Choose your Ubuntu version	No	22.04 / 24.04 / 26.04 or custom ISO
Dedicated RAM and CPU	Shared pool	Allocated to your VM
Background daemons and workers	Usually blocked	Yes
Dedicated IP	Extra cost, if available	Included

If none of the above apply to you, honestly, stay on shared hosting. A VPS you don't need is a server you have to think about. Our Linux shared hosting is cheaper and there's no shame in it.

A VPS gives you an isolated slice of a physical host. A dedicated server gives you the whole machine. Move up to dedicated when you hit one of these walls:

You consistently need more than 16 GB RAM or more than 4 dedicated cores
Your workload is disk-I/O bound and you're competing with neighbours for IOPS
You need specific hardware — a particular CPU generation, GPU, or a RAID configuration you control
Compliance requires single-tenant hardware

Our Mightiest VPS (4 core / 16 GB / 200 GB NVMe at ₹4,500) is roughly the point where a dedicated server starts making financial sense too. When you get there, we'll say so rather than upselling you into a bigger VPS.

Workloads

What people actually run on these

Running WordPress on an Ubuntu VPS

WordPress on Ubuntu is straightforward, and the performance gain over shared hosting is real — but only if the stack is configured properly. A default LAMP install with no caching will not outperform a decent shared host.

What we set up on a WordPress Ubuntu VPS:

Nginx with FastCGI cache, or Apache with mod_php and a caching plugin, depending on your plugin set
PHP-FPM 8.2 or 8.3 with OPcache tuned to your site's file count
MariaDB with innodb_buffer_pool_size sized to your actual database, not the default 128 MB
Redis for object caching — the single biggest win for WooCommerce
Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
ufw with only 22, 80 and 443 open, plus fail2ban on wp-login
Daily backups (optional add-on)

For a WooCommerce store with real traffic, start at Pearl (5 GB RAM) or Mighty (8 GB). WordPress itself is light; it's the plugins, the WooCommerce cart sessions and the database that eat RAM.

Ubuntu VPS for developers

If you're deploying anything that isn't PHP-on-cPanel, this is where an Ubuntu VPS earns its cost. Common stacks we deploy:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS  →  Nginx  →  Node.js (PM2)      →  PostgreSQL
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS  →  Caddy  →  Python/Gunicorn    →  PostgreSQL + Redis
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS  →  Nginx  →  PHP-FPM 8.3        →  MariaDB
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS  →  Docker Compose (full stack, reverse-proxied)

Docker runs natively — no nested-virtualization workarounds, no container-inside-container weirdness, because you're on a real VM. Same for Kubernetes single-node setups (k3s), CI runners, WireGuard endpoints and self-hosted tooling like Gitea, n8n or Metabase.

Teams commonly run one small VPS as staging and a larger one as production. Both on the same network, both in Delhi NCR, so your staging environment actually resembles production.

Backups & Security

Keeping your Ubuntu VPS safe

Root access cuts both ways. Here's what we set up by default, and what we'd tell you to do yourself.

Backups — an add-on, and why

Backups are an add-on, not bundled, and we'd rather be honest about that than pretend otherwise.

Two reasons: bundling backup storage into a ₹249 plan would mean either useless retention or a higher base price for everybody, and a lot of our customers already back up to S3, Backblaze or their own offsite target and don't want to pay twice.

If you want us to handle it, ask for the managed backup add-on when you order and we'll set retention and schedule to fit your data. If you'd rather roll your own, restic, borg or rclone all work fine and our team will help you configure the cron.

What we'd tell any customer regardless: a snapshot on the same hypervisor is not a backup. Get a copy off the platform.

Securing an Ubuntu VPS — our default checklist

These are the things we set up by default on a managed VPS, and the things you should do yourself if you've asked us to stay hands-off:

Disable password SSH. Keys only, PermitRootLogin prohibit-password at minimum.
Move SSH off port 22 if you want a quieter auth log. Not real security, but it cuts the noise by 95%.
ufw default deny incoming, then open only what you need. Most VPS compromises we clean up trace back to a database or Redis port left open to the world.
Enable unattended-upgrades for security patches. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades.
fail2ban on SSH and, if applicable, wp-login and mail auth.
Never run your application as root. Create a service user.
SSL on everything, including internal admin interfaces.
Watch outbound traffic, not just inbound. A compromised VPS usually announces itself by sending spam or joining a botnet before you notice anything else. We monitor outbound abuse across our fleet and will alert you.

If you're on a managed plan and any of this is missing on your server, raise a ticket. We'll fix it.

FAQ

Ubuntu VPS — Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ubuntu versions can I install?

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS, plus current interim releases on request. You can also supply your own ISO and we'll install from that.

Can I change my Ubuntu version later?

Yes. Raise a ticket and we'll reinstall the VPS with any supported release. The rebuild wipes the disk, so take a backup first — we'll remind you, but the responsibility is yours.

Do I get root access on a managed plan?

Yes. Every plan includes full root. "Managed" here means we'll help, not that we lock you out.

Is this KVM or container-based?

Neither. It's VMware. Full hardware virtualization with your own kernel, which is why Docker, WireGuard and custom kernel modules all work normally.

Can I run Docker?

Yes, without restrictions. Install it from Docker's official repository — the Ubuntu-packaged docker.io is usually a version or two behind.

Can I install cPanel on Ubuntu?

Yes, on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. cPanel supports one Ubuntu LTS at a time and 26.04 isn't qualified yet. Deploy 24.04 if cPanel is in your plan. Licensing goes through us.

What about DirectAdmin or Plesk?

DirectAdmin runs on 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04. Plesk's newest supported release is 24.04. CyberPanel and Webmin are also available. All of them can be installed on request.

How many IP addresses do I get?

One dedicated IPv4, included. Up to five total, with a stated technical justification for each additional address — that's an APNIC allocation requirement, not a sales gate.

Where are the servers?

Delhi NCR, on eWebGuru's own network (AS133643). Latency to most Indian ISPs is low single-digit to low double-digit milliseconds.

How quickly is the VPS ready?

Under an hour after payment clears, usually a good deal less.

Are backups included?

No, they're an optional add-on. See the backups section above for why, and for what we recommend if you'd rather handle it yourself.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes — RAM, CPU and disk can all be increased. Most upgrades need a short reboot. Ask before you need it and we'll schedule it for a quiet hour.

Do you charge in INR or USD?

Both. Toggle the currency on the pricing table. Indian customers are billed in INR with GST.
